Programme Note
Darkness offers us sanctuary, secrecy and an opportunity to witness the magnificence of the solar system but it can also be incredibly dangerous. Our negative experiences of the night as women often leads to us being deprived of its beauty and magic. This concert is an offer of rebellion and positivity, an artistic reclaiming of the night.

Sarah Dacey (Soprano) and Belinda Jones (Piano) perform art songs by both living and historical composers, including 5 new commissions from Kerry Andrew, Lucy Mulgan, Laura Bowler, Yshani Perinpanayagam and Freya Waley-Cohen.

This project is supported by the Hinrichsen Foundation and the Vaughan Williams Foundation. This concert is also a fundraising event for the charity Refuge.

Luminatus Vocal Ensemble

Programme Note
This concert explores a rich tapestry of great choral music from across Europe. It includes beautiful sacred and secular pieces, including music by the early English master Dunstaple, the Italian Luca Marenzio, and Spaniard Francisco Guerrero. There are glimpses of the genius of Thomas Tallis and a chance to celebrate John Dowland, C.H.H. Parry, Arvo Pärt and Benjamin Britten. This is a wonderful collection of music for the soul, performed by luminatus professional vocal ensemble.
