The Chapel Choirs of the Old Royal Naval College and the Royal Hospital Chelsea combine forces in an historic celebration of the birthday of Queen Mary II (1662-1694). Instrumental in the founding of the Old Royal Naval College in 1692, now the home of Trinity Laban, Queen Mary was on the throne when the Royal Hospital opened its doors to its Chelsea Pensioners that same year.

The choirs, accompanied by the renowned instrumental forces of the Brandenburg Baroque Soloists, perform a captivating selection of music written by John Blow and Henry Purcell for Queen Mary’s coronation, birthday, and funeral; we also hear George Frideric Handel’s Utrecht Te Deum, written for her successor to the English throne, Queen Anne (1665-1714).

Tickets: £20 / £10 (students and children)
