Please refer to the revised programme at The Spirit of Serenity (28 Mar only)
One of the foremost choral conductors today, Stephen Layton brings you an evocative lineup of two ethereal classics by Fauré. They surround a brief but poignant pairing of Britten’s playful Simple Symphony and Estonian composer Arvo Pärt’s threnody of sorrow for the English composer. A fascinating programme of inspiration, hope, respite and consolation.
For French choral fare, of which Fauré's has always stood out for its beautiful harmonies and colours.
