About the show
Chamber choir Londinium is joined by acclaimed collaborative cellist Clare O'Connell for an evening of luminous and meditative music exploring themes of conflict, loss, resilience, and hope. Our programme is anchored by two masterpieces for cello and choir: John Tavener's haunting 'Svyati', in which the cello represents the Ikon of Christ, and Richard Rodney Bennett's warm-hearted 'A Farewell to Arms', in which it embodies a war-weary soldier. Woven around them is a sequence of classic motets by Tallis, Dering and Schütz, heartfelt works by Joubert and Mauersberger, and radiant recent music by Gabriel Jackson, Howard Skempton, and Lucy Walker.
