RACHMANINOFF VESPERS
This masterpiece of unaccompanied choral writing is a radiant tapestry of ancient chant and lush Romantic harmony.
THE GARDEN OF LOVE
Love and nature are in full bloom in this programme of evocative imagery and shimmering harmony. Selections from Claude Le Jeune’s innovative 16th-century Le printemps set spring as the season of love - the timeless subject for Palestrina and Daniel-Lesur. You'll also hear music by Giovanni Gabrieli, Liz Dilnot Johnson, and a world premiere from Bobbie-Jane Gardner.
