Long, Long Ago

Londinium

Londinium's Christmas programme offers a typically vibrant and inventive selection of seasonal repertoire ranging from the Renaissance to the present day. Firm favourites such as Tavener's The Lamb and Rachmaninoff's Bogoroditse Devo complement rarities by Howells, Warlock and EW Naylor, whilst superb motets by Byrd, Weelkes, and Schütz are heard alongside contemporary classics-in-the-making by Jan Sandström, Jaako Mantyjärvi and Jonathan Harvey. Wine and mince pies complete the perfect festive evening!
