An evening of unaccompanied choral music that celebrates both intimacy and expressive richness, this concert brings together two much-loved works of the modern a cappella repertoire.

At its heart are the luminous Nocturnes by Morten Lauridsen—a cycle of five settings that explore the beauty, mystery and stillness of night. Lauridsen’s music is renowned for its warmth and flowing lyricism, drawing singers and listeners alike into a reflective, almost timeless sound world.

In contrast, Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Three Shakespeare Songs offer wit, colour and character in abundance. Each movement captures a different facet of Shakespeare’s writing—from playful humour to haunting atmosphere—showcasing the choir’s versatility and dramatic flair.

Together, these works promise a richly varied programme, blending serenity with storytelling, and highlighting the unique power and purity of the human voice.
