About this Concert

We continue our 'Journeys and Discoveries' season at Worcester Cathedral. The concert will include Philip Sawyers' 'Mayflower on the Sea of Time', which was due to be premiered in 2020 - one of the highpoints of the city of Worcester's commemorations to mark the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower’s pioneering voyage to the New World in 1620 and Worcestershire’s strong connection to this momentous and far-reaching event.
