Behind Closed Doors; the Underground Sacred Music of the 17th Century

Listen, by candlelight to the forbidden music of the Catholic church following the reformation of the Church of England.
About this Event

Enter the church by candlelight, collect a complimentary glass of wine and find a seat. Let the music of Elizabethan England surround you as you are taken through a selection of Tudor motets and Byrd's Mass for 3 voices.

The audience will be sat around a central circle of 9 singers, allowing you to feel intimately close and involved with the music - the only light available being the candles surrounding you. Come and enjoy a moment of peace, serenity and sanctity while the glory of the polyphonic writing of the Catholic church during this turbulent time in English history surrounds you.
