Sung in the superb acoustics of St. John’s Sharow, this concert showcases some beautiful and varied a cappella choral music from three eras and spanning nearly five hundred years.

You can hear works from the Renaissance by John Sheppard, Robert Parsons, and an Italian nun called Raffaella Aleotti.

You can lose yourself in the sublime romantic harmonies of Anton Bruckner and Hubert Parry.

And you can get a taste of what brilliant choral music written today sounds like, with works by Ola Gjeilo, Caroline Shaw and our own Matthew Oglesby.

There is something here for everyone. If you’ve not yet discovered the joys of choral music, this would be a great place to start!

The concert will last about 90 minutes, including an interval during which wine and juice will be served.
