About This Event

We join forces with saxophonist-composer Christian Forshaw at Cadogan Hall, to re-create music by Byrd, Tallis and Hildegard of Bingen, as well as Roderick Williams and Forshaw himself.

And then we venture into the beyond: bringing their own luminous, intensely personal touch to one of the true classics of the English choral tradition 鈥� Parry鈥檚 poignant Songs of Farewell.
