About this Event
This is the third concert in an annual series featuring new works for one
of the most innovative and exciting commissioning projects of our time, The Cranmer Anthem Book. The project will see new settings of each of the 88 Collects (or prayers) from the Book of Common Prayer, devised by Tudor Archbishop of Canterbury, Thomas Cranmer (1489β1556). The pieces, composed by some of the worldβs leading composers, will be introduced by Matthew Owens in recorded conversation with the composers, offering a fascinating insight into the world of contemporary music.
