Hear how English composers responded to the doctrinal turmoil of the 16th century in our next concert on 18 October, conducted by @davidallinson.bsky.social and illuminated in a pre-performance talk by Dr Kerry McCarthy.
Well, @medren2025.bsky.social isn’t over yet, but what a stimulating week it’s been – thought-provoking papers, excellent concerts and wonderful reconnections with expert musicologists and practitioners. Plus we came face to face the northeast’s resident dragon: the Lambton Worm 🐉
I do dislike talking into my phone. But @oliverhjones.bsky.social did such a beautiful job with the edit. And it’s worth it, to promote such wonderful repertoire.
Tune in at 9:30pm on Sunday to hear us singing compline on BBC Radio 3, conducted by @davidallinson.bsky.social and with one of our very own altos, Helena, leading us in chant.
This broadcast features Renaissance polyphony by Byrd, Palestrina and Tye.
This recording of a compline service with the Renaissance Singers is available until the start of November. One of the best things I've done for ages; so grateful to the choir for their wonderful singing. www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m...
