The Renaissance Choir concert
Join us for a meditative evening of sacred and secular music
Time for something completely different? Two hours of dream-time music to chill out to, to relax you and to take you to a calmer place in your mind.
The zesty Gloria by Poulenc, accompanied by Karen Kingsley, is surely one of the best-loved twentieth century choral works. It is contrasted with local composer Ian Schofield’s Stream of Life, freeing stress with the words of the Indian guru Rabindranath Tagore. We commissioned this piece for our 40th anniversary in July 2016.
The programme also contains William Byrd’s Ne Irascaris, Gitanjali Chants by Craig Hilla Johnson and John Cage’s 4/2, Zen-inspired work of inner peace.
