Reaching from the celestial heights of the Sistine Chapel to the rolling hills of the English countryside, join us for a journey through the evolution of the human voice. We begin in the Renaissance, where the intricate Polyphony of Victoria and Aleotti offered a glimpse of the divine. This sacred devotion finds a new, powerful emotional depth in the German Romantic masterpieces of Brahms, Bruckner, and Mendelssohn.

Following the interval, the mood shifts as we celebrate the secular spirit of the 20th century. Through the nostalgic folk-harmonies of Vaughan Williams and Stanford, and concluding with the iconic modern storytelling of Les Misérables and Paul Simon, we explore how choral music continues to capture the essence of our shared experience.
