Programme Note
Southern Voices launch their ruby anniversary season on 23 March in the Chapel of St Cross at 7.30pm. 40 years of singing together is a big achievement and the choir’s popularity has endured throughout the years. They commence celebrations with a concert featuring a stunning 40 voice-part piece which is rarely performed.
Spem in alium by Thomas Tallis is a majestic work, written to impress the court of Queen Elizabeth 1, that requires eight choirs, each with 5 voice parts. The choir will be boosted in numbers to achieve this by welcoming back past members to join them. They will stand surrounding the audience and this, together with the renowned acoustic of the chapel, will create a most amazing sound experience.
Booking is essential and tickets are now on sale.
