Programme Note
Chamber choir Londinium opens its 2024-25 season with a thought-provoking programme exploring our relationships with our planet and with each other. A sequence of glorious music, including works by Brahms, Joubert and Cheryl Frances-Hoad, celebrates the natural world as a constant in troubled times, even as Leighton's God's Grandeur warns of humanity's tendency to sully its purity. Meanwhile, Giles Swayne's remarkable Missa Tiburtina offers unflinching commentary on global inequality, and Bernard Hughes' wryly witty Precious Things highlights our exploitation of resources.
Tickets include a complimentary programme, and wine will be served in the interval.
