A Year at Birmingham

The newest release in the collectable ‘A Year at.’ series takes us to the glorious baroque church of St Philip in the heart of Birmingham, which became the Cathedral of the new Birmingham Diocese in 1905. The Cathedral is renowned for its graceful Italianate architecture and the remarkable late nineteenth-century stained glass windows, many by Edward Burne-Jones. In this first recording from Birmingham under musical director, David Hardie, we are taken on a musical journey through the church’s year from Advent to Christ the King. Alongside the great festivals, Birmingham Cathedral, situated at the heart of Britain’s ‘Second City’, as well as celebrating the cultural and demographic diversity of this great city, has a special mission to support the vulnerable and marginalised in society. The recording features musical items performed during the year to recognise all aspects of its mission.
