About this Event
Join us for this special fundraising concert at Reading Minster on Saturday 25 April. All ticket proceeds will be donated to Reading's Refugee Support Group.
Experience heartfelt choral music by composers including Caroline Shaw and Thomas Tallis performed by acclaimed vocal collective , led by Artistic Director Tom Herring.
This special evening of solidarity and song will also feature performances by Reading’s Ukrainian choir, Kryla, who will join forces with SANSARA for a performance of Natalia Tsupryk’s A Quiet Night-Tyhoyi Nochi. Commissioned in response to the full-scale invasion of Ukraine, A Quiet Night has since been performed by choirs around the world, connecting people in musical acts of solidarity with those displaced by conflict.
We will also hear from representatives from Reading's Refugee Support Group, providing an opportunity to learn about the charity’s work in the community.
