DESCRIPTION
The final three concerts in a series of eight at London's Cadogan Hall celebrating choral music in a rich variety of repertoire and choirs. The sacred polyphony of The Tallis Scholars is contrasted with the 20th century repertoire of the Estonian Philharmonic Chamber Choir highlighting Arvo Pärt and Cyrillus Kreek. Whether you come for the intriguingly diverse repertoire proposed by the world-famous Hilliard Ensemble or the celebration of renaissance master Tomas Luis de Victoria, we look forward to seeing you here.
