Ella and Friends by Candlelight

17 Jul 2026 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm

Ella and Friends is a heartfelt celebration of the First Lady of song, Ella Fitzgerald. Spanning nearly five decades of iconic music, this elegant cabaret-style performance brings her ingenious charm and transcendent voice to life.

The London Concertante ensemble bring their lush string arrangements, a swinging rhythm section, and sparkling trumpet, with a show that takes audiences on a journey through legendary interpretations of the Great American Songbook – from Gershwin to Porter, Berlin to Duke Ellington — alongside Ella’s unforgettable collaborations with Louis Armstrong. There are also nods to some of the other jazz icons who shaped her era, including Billie Holiday, Nina Simone and Sarah Vaughan.

Don’t miss this rare opportunity to experience the glitz, glamour, and soul of the golden age of jazz in the beautiful setting of Salisbury Cathedral.

This event is organised by London Concertante and not by Salisbury Cathedral.
