Siglo de Oro present a programme of late Renaissance choral music for Holy Week. The centrepiece is an effervescent double-choir Mass for Easter Day by Hieronymus Praetorius, organist at Hamburg’s Jakobikirche in the early 17th century. Alongside Praetorius’ masterpiece are Passiontide motets by composers whose influence is heard in the mass: Bavarian Hans Leo Hassler, Netherlandish Orlande de Lassus, and Venetian Andrea Gabrieli.
Meditation with Chris Miller
This concert of reflective music will be preceded by a guided meditation led by Triyoga teacher Chris Miller at 2.45pm. Chris has studied and practiced Buddhist meditation since 1998 and, following a career as a clinic-based counsellor in the NHS, he now provides health and wellbeing coaching combining exercise, counselling, yoga and meditation. We hope that this guided session will help you to experience the music performed in a new and refreshing way.
To avoid disruption to the concert, tickets to the meditation can only be purchased in conjunction with tickets for the performance.
