An inspiring evening of sacred and secular music in the stunning setting of Douai Abbey. In the first half the Choir will sing works by Taverner, Sheppard, Tallis, Tomkins and Gibbons interspersed with organ pieces by Byrd and Carlton. As a contrast, English Madrigals (from May Morning) and more light-hearted close harmony style arrangements will follow in the second half.
Under the direction of Daniel Hyde, the Choir of sixteen boys and twelve men sing the daily church services in Magdalen College Chapel. They have also appeared frequently on television and radio and sung to appreciative audiences all over the world. They have made a number of critically acclaimed recordings, one of which was nominated for a Grammy Award in 2005.
