'In the Chapel,' single by Shirley Ly, British female composer from London, UK performed with Charlie Brookes, Susanna Griffin, John Michael Hird and Chris Terepin at the Old Royal Naval College's Chapel of St Peter & St Paul on 17th February 2024. Coming out on streaming platforms soon.
This piece was composed specifically to capture the wonderful moment of performing at the spectacular Old Royal Naval College’s Chapel of St Peter & St Paul, which is part of a World Heritage Site. This chapel was part of Sir Christopher Wren’s original design for the Royal Hospital for Seamen at Greenwich built in 1742 then following a devastating fire, was rebuilt in 1779. It is decorated with a mixture of Greek revival and naval motifs with cream and light blue colours against its magnificent neoclassical ceiling.
Behind the altar is the huge painting titled Preservation of St Paul after Shipwreck at Malta by artist Benjamin West. The artwork depicts the scene in the Acts of the Apostles in which Saint Paul is shipwrecked on his way to Rome where he will be prosecuted. In the middle, Paul stands heroically over the fire lit by the ship’s passengers to keep warm. Intruding on the scene is the snake from whose poisonous bite Paul does not feel. A must visit place in London!
