Faire is the heaven: A concert of starry music

✨ Join us for an ethereal evening of music featuring one of the UK’s finest amateur chamber choirs! Experience the luminous sound that beautifully highlights pieces designed to shine, such as Ēriks Ešenvalds’s Stars and Jonathan Dove’s Seek Him That Maketh the Seven Stars.

🎶 This concert also marks the world premiere of Oliver Tarney’s Lux Stellarum, a radiant new requiem that intertwines plainsong, scripture, and poetry by John Donne and Marjorie Pickthall. Described as intimate yet expansive, it invites you to ponder the mysteries of the cosmos and the divine calling of each star and soul.

🗣️ Join us at 18:30 for a free pre-concert chat with Oliver Tarney and MD Jeremy Backhouse, exclusively for ticket holders!
