We welcome the peerless voices of Vox Luminis for a spatial and spiritual journey, as they use the different spaces of Hall One for performances of Tallis, Byrd, Sheppard, Morley and Weelkes.


All ears are tuned to the voices of Vox Luminis as they embark upon a dialectic of two extreme poles: those of Light and Shadow. This musical programme follows the course of a man who entrusts, gets lost, sees himself destroyed and seems to be able to rise just before his encounter with death. In Elizabethan English polyphony, the themes interweave to create an infinity of nuance.

The different positions of the singers throughout the concert add extra depth, resonance and meaning to the quest from the darkness towards the light. In the darkest of darkness and facing the obstacles of life, a glimmer of hope arises. What beckons is clarity of spirit, sparkling beauty, and divine intelligence; the principle of knowledge and consciousness.
