Join Neotectonic Vocal Ensemble and St Matthew’s Voices for IN THIS HEART, the annual St. Matthew-in-the-City choral concert to mark Good Friday 2025.
Spanning a few hundred years of choral composition, the programme will feature Tallis’s Lamentations of Jeremiah I and the famous Allegri Miserere, alongside works from an array of 20th- and 21st-century composers including Richard Rodney Bennett, Sarah Quartel and Rollo Dilworth, and the world premiere of Salvator Mundi by New Zealand composer Fergus Byett.
IN THIS HEART is the second collaboration between Neotectonic and St Matthew’s Voices, following last year’s successful SONGS OF FAREWELL concert.
Entry is by koha at the door. We look forward to seeing you there.
