Wells Cathedral School Brass and Percussion Promenade Concert

Glorious antiphonal music for brass by Gabrieli, the evocative Four Songs for voices, horns and harp by Brahms, thought-provoking Medieval Drums and serene sounds of Jazz vibraphone, ending with the wonderfully impassioned Elsa's Procession to the Cathedral from Wagner's Lohengrin.

Each year, in early January, the chairs are removed from the Nave of Wells Cathedral. This allows congregations, audiences, and visitors to appreciate the medieval Nave in its original state – without furniture.

During the annual Promenade Concerts, the audience can therefore walk around and enjoy not just the space in the Nave, but also the Quire, Transepts, and Chapels. Some choose to wander the building, whereas others will find a special and unique place to sit where they can enjoy the performance.
