Saint Michael's Singers :: About Us

Consecrated in 1962 to replace the medieval one destroyed in the 2nd World War, the new cathedral was designed by Basil Spence.

The cathedral is filled with exceptional works of art from the leading artists of the day. Graham Sutherland's tapestry of Christ in Glory dominates the East End of the cathedral. John Hutton's glass screen of Saints and Angels forms a transparent West End, with the ruins of the old cathedral (illuminated at night) visible beyond. Coloured light streams through John Piper's Baptistery window and Epstein's St Michael and the Devil guards the cathedral steps.

In a survey of the British public's attitude to modern buildings, Coventry Cathedral was voted the nation's favourite 20th century building. This magnificent building provides a unique spiritual atmosphere for Saint Michael's Singers' performances of choral music.
