About this concert
History will be made at Wigmore Hall when The Hilliard Ensemble gives its final performance. Over the past four decades the Hilliards have championed everything from early medieval polyphony to specially commissioned works by many of today’s leading composers.
The group’s farewell programme spans almost nine centuries of music, opening with the late 12th-century Christmas Gradual Viderunt Omnes and including Arvo Pärt’s Most Holy Mother of God, written for and dedicated to The Hilliard Ensemble.
