Venue: Blackburn Cathedral

To celebrate Blackburn Cathedral’s centenary, join us for an evening of '100 Voices for 100 Years', a spectacular concert celebrating the Cathedral’s life through an evening of live music and entertainment.

This very special concert will bring together over 100 choir members from one of the North West’s fastest-growing choirs, Local Vocals, with special guest performers from Blackburn’s own New Road Music Studios, showcasing the breadth of musical talent from our local community.

From bespoke, contemporary choir arrangements to intricate, operatic guest performances, the programme has been curated to celebrate 100 years of Blackburn Cathedral, while supporting organisations that continue to make a difference in and around Blackburn.

Renowned for its beautiful acoustics, Blackburn Cathedral offers a truly memorable setting in which to experience live music.

Charity Partners

Proceeds from the evening will support the work of Blackburn Cathedral and our second charity partner East Lancashire Hospice, helping both organisations continue the valuable work they do within our communities. During the interval, guests will also have the opportunity to support the event further by taking part in a charity raffle.
