the present day, including familiar masterpieces by Howells and
Bruckner, as well as modern classics by Arvo Pärt and Jan Sandström.

A Choral Menagerie

Epic dragon battles in heaven, conquering lions and silver swans,
cats, mice, owls, unicorns, seals, even birds of paradise - they're
all featured in our curated menagerie of music inspired by the
animal kingdom. Britten's monumental Rejoice in the Lamb -
energetic, lithe, mystical - is the centrepiece of the concert,
which also includes Tavener's The Lamb, Whitacre's Seal Lullaby,
and Bob Chilcott's Aesop's Fables, as well as music by
Gibbons, Ravel and others.
