Music of utter calm and tranquillity
We are thrilled that our Patron, Dame Emma Kirkby, will join us for this concert, to perform a small selection of works from the golden age of English lute song.
The Private Music... by composers writing in circumstances of exile - some forced to leave protestant England for their Catholicism, some obliged through fear to write music for secret ceremony, others removed from meaningful positions and effectively exiled in their own homes.
This will be the choir’s first concert in the Minster since 1992 and we are very excited to return to such a beautiful building right in the centre of Taunton.
For her first concert directing the choir, Andrea has chosen renaissance music of singular beauty which is sure to transport the audience to a place of utter calm and tranquillity.
Our concert showcases Renaissance music of singular beauty. In this, the choir's 40th anniversary year, we are very excited to be joined by our Patron, the internationally acclaimed Dame Emma Kirkby.
We hope you will join us to enioy this very special concert. This beautiful Minster, dedicated to St Mary Magdalene, was completed in 1508 in decorated Tudor style - it could not be a more apt and atmospheric location to hear such wonderful music.
