TEWKESBURY Abbey will be the setting for a concert on Saturday which will feature the Rodolfus Choir and The Orchestra of the City.

The Rodolfus Choir is directed by Ralph Allwood and singers are chosen from past and present members of the Eton Choral Courses. Most are at university, although some are still at school and many hope to make music their career.

In recent years the choir has concentrated on recordings and performances within the UK, although it has visited the US. Rodolfus has made a number of CDs and regularly appears on BBC TV's Songs of Praise. It provided choral backing for Katherine Jenkins on her latest CD Living a Dream.

It made a great impression at the Gloucester Three Choirs Festival in 1989, and since then has appeared at many other important English Festivals.

The Orchestra of the City is directed by Benjamin Bayl and is a non-professional group from London with musicians who originally came together through the Deutsche Bank Pyramid Awards.

The choir and orchestra will perform Beethoven's Coriolan Overture, Judith Weir's We are Shadows and Brahms' Requiem. The soprano soloist is Julie Cooper with Thomas Guthrie, baritone.

Tickets for the Abbey concert are priced £17 or £15 concessions. The concert starts at 7.30, tickets from 01684 856148.
