 The concert is one of many events marking Faith in One City |
Liverpool's Anglican Cathedral is to host a performance so rare it has not been heard in the UK for almost 10 years and no recording of it exists. Sir Charles Villiers Stanford's Piano Quintet will be performed by Ensemble Liverpool to celebrate Protestant composers on Tuesday.
The concert by the independent group from the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic marks the Year of Faith In One City.
The Metropolitan Cathedral already held a concert to honour Catholic composers.
Composer Graham Marshall will give a talk before Tuesday's performance which features his own piece Shaking Strings - dedicated to Ensemble Liverpool.
'Talented musicians'
The concert is one of 80 projects funded by the �2m city council-led Creative Community Programme to help celebrate the Year of Faith In One City.
Director and founder of Live-A-Music and Ensemble Liverpool, Tony Burrage, said: ''All the pieces chosen for the night are beautiful and to hear them in the Anglican Cathedral should be amazing."
Executive Member for Leisure and Culture, Councillor Warren Bradley, said: ''The Anglican cathedral is arguably the city's finest and most inspiring place to listen to such wonderful music.
"Liverpool is blessed to have such a beautiful place and talented musicians to enjoy such an event.''
