Programme Note
In its first public performance since lockdown last year, Londinium gives an informal recital of unaccompanied English choral music. Our programme takes in some of the most beloved music in the repertoire, including Stanford's Beati quorum via, Pearsall's Lay a Garland and Gibbons' The Silver Swan, alongside works by Purcell, Tomkins, Moeran, Holst, Vaughan Williams and others. Join us in the splendid surroundings of St John the Divine, Kennington, as we celebrate the return of live choral music and look forward to better times ahead.
Please note that this event is socially distanced, and you should wear a face covering unless medically exempt. Stewards will direct you to seats on arrival.
The recital lasts just under an hour, with a short break half way through.
