Programme Note

A concert exploring humanity's eternal journey through darkness toward light, from ancient texts to modern expressions in music from the 16th century to the present day.

With music by Thomas Tallis through to recent times with Benjamin Britten, John Tavener and Eric Whitacre, the programme covers themes of light through the ages, through our bonds with others, sleep, dreams and darkness and dawn and blessing.
