For their debut concert Londinium presented an evening of unaccompanied choral music from the 17th Century featuring Palestrina's fabulous Stabat Mater for 8 voices, originally written for the private chapel of Pope Gregory XIV. The Stabat Mater, a work of complex polyphony, was performed with a selection of motets of the period, in the beautiful atmosphere of St Mary-le-Bow.

Conductor: Brian Gordon
