Ex Cathedra
In 40 Parts: Spem in alium
Soaring, uplifting, remarkable, and truly monumental, Tallis’ Spem in alium is perhaps the most iconic piece of choral music ever written. This unmissable concert also features a world premiere from Roderick Williams and revisits Ex Cathedra’s spine-tingling 2010 commission from Alec Roth - both written In 40 Parts. What better way to open Jeffrey Skidmore’s final season!
