Full Event Details
Tenebrae returns to the historic venue of St Bartholomew-the-Great with a sequence of choral masterpieces. Spanning over 400 years, the programme includes music by Renaissance masters Byrd and Gibbons, much-loved choral favourites by Harris and Holst, and works by some of today's most exciting composers. Founded in 1123, this stunning church is the perfect setting for a candlelit concert on a summer's evening.
