Londinium celebrates its twentieth birthday with a spectacular selection of favourite choral works exploring the power of music and the human voice. The programme includes the world premiere of Nico Muhly's Abidynge, glorious motets by Monteverdi and Byrd, showpieces by Walton, Stanford, Leighton, Ravel and Elliott Carter, and fine recent music by Gabriel Jackson and Will Harmer. The programme is crowned by Schoenberg's mighty Friede auf Erden, one of the great summits of a cappella singing.
St John's Waterloo is opposite Waterloo Station. Tickets include a complimentary programme.
