The British Saints Symphony Choir & Orchestra is a group of singers and musicians (and friends) from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints throughout the UK who gather to perform uplifting music that is spiritually inspiring, moving and powerful.
The BSSCO’s next performances are for the European concert-hall premiere of ‘Lamb of God’, a musical work for choir, orchestra, soloists and narrators written and composed by LDS composer, Rob Gardner. They have gathered one Saturday a month for the last six months, in order to rehearse for their upcoming concerts.
