Tallis’s epic 40-part motet ‘Spem in Alium’ will be at the heart of this programme, and is always all the more memorable when sung in the atmospheric surroundings of a candlelit St Martin’s. This performance will be framed by Schubert’s glorious Mass in G, and four choral gems by Bruckner and Brahms. This concert will last approximately one hour without an interval. A combined ticket offer is available for this concert and the earlier performance at St Martin’s. Please contact the box office for details.
