Summary
Peter Phillips conducts the BBC Singers at Milton Court in a programme of choral works by Byrd, Tallis, and Lobo alongside contemporary pieces by Cassandra Miller and Nico Muhly.
Why it's fantastic
Renaissance polyphony meets the pulse of the modern city in a program spanning five centuries of vocal intensity. It is a rare chance to hear choral masterminds Peter Phillips and the BBC Singers navigate the intricate, shifting textures of Nico Muhly alongside the haunting, timeless grief of the Tudor masters.
