The Ebor Singers explore ‘night music’ from the evening service of Compline to the golden period of
Tudor polyphony with settings by Matthew Harris and John Rutter to mark this year’s Shakespeare
anniversary. Renowned for their sparkling performances and recordings, the group is the north’s most exciting vocal ensemble.
One of the county’s most magnicent churches, the soaring spire of St Peter’s caps a remarkable late 14th century building, in its turn constructed on an ancient site. The carved capitals of the nave arcade
and the soaring clerestory are particularly impressive. 

MUSIC IN QUIET PLACES IS SPONSORED BY CHATTERTONS

Our concerts this year have a distinctive English flavour, as befits the 400th anniversary of the death of William Shakespeare.
K’antu takes us to the court with a selection of songs and dances, the Ebor Singers turn to the sacred music of the period and the
Melrose Quartet takes a broader look at what makes English music so distinctive. We open with the violin duo Retorica and also
in more classical mode, harp and fl ute duo Aquilae presents an attractive mixed programme of favourites.
