Allegri Miserere by candlelight

  • St Martin-in-the-Fields Trafalgar Square WC2N 4JH UK (map)

We welcome the fantastic Choir of Pembroke College, University of Cambridge, and conductor Anna Lapwood to kick-off the 2018 Autumn Series. In their festival debut, these talented choral scholars present a programme which moves through the Easter story from crucifixion to resurrection centred around Allegri’s mesmerising Miserere. The concert uses as its backbone motets from Tomás Luis de Victoria's Tenebrae Responsories, interspersing these with complimentary works by contemporary composers James MacMillan, Matthew Martin and Paul Mealor, and pieces by Byrd, Elgar, Lotti, Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky as well as traditional chant.
