The brilliant University of Reading Chamber Choir make a welcome return to the festival with this programme exploring the theme of darkness to light. The concert ranges from Renaissance motets and madrigals up to more recent choral favourites, such as Morten Lauridsen's substantial multi-movement work Lux Aeterna.
