Jesus’ Blood Never Failed Me Yet Live in Canterbury Cathedral

The Flower of Friendship

The Sinking of the Titanic

Jesus' Blood Never Failed Me Yet

Experience Gavin Bryars' seminal minimalist orchestral work performed in the atmospheric surroundings of the Cathedral.

First released in 1975, the piece features a looped recording of a homeless man singing a religious song, which Bryars discovered on the streets of London. The recording is accompanied by a live orchestra playing a simple melody, which gradually builds in intensity and complexity to a moving crescendo.

Haunting, powerful and deeply moving, Jesus' Blood has been performed across the world and is widely regarded as a landmark work of Twentieth Century classical music.

A celebration of Gavin Bryars’ 80th birthday, presented in association with Canterbury Cathedral.

When: Fri 5 Apr, 7pm

Venue: Canterbury Cathedral
