Choral concert: High Summer Holds the Earth @ St Mary Brookfield Church
Jun 18 @ 7:30 pm – 9:15 pm

Glorious and good-natured music for a summer evening: acclaimed London chamber choir Voxcetera have invited the brilliant Edinburgh ensemble Rudsambee to join them for a joint concert of choral musical, ranging from Tudor anthems to the present day.

The programme includes Samuel Barber and Morten Lauridsen‘s spinetingling arrangements of Sure On This Shining Night; anthems by Biebl, Byrd, Tallis and Weelkes; settings of Shakespeare songs by ShearingJames MacMillan‘s haunting and unmistakeably celtic The Galant Weaver; and folk songs by Reger.

Two great choirs, much great music, one lovely evening.
