Join us for Polyphony Continued, an evocative concert tracing the evolution of choral music across more than 500 years, from the serene clarity of the faith-inspired Renaissance to the lush harmonies of the modern era.
Polyphony – the interweaving of independent melodies – lies at the heart of this programme, showcasing how voices working together in tandem create an experience that is so much more than the sum of its parts.
