A programme focusing on Tudor vocal music, ranging from miniature works for two voices up to the monumental 40-voiced motet Spem in alium by Thomas Tallis (1505–1585), presented by Lutesong Consort (Artistic Director: Lente Louw) and True Voices, and conducted by Patrick Cordery. Apart from Tallis’s Spem in alium, this concert will feature contemporary works for two and five voices by Orlando di Lasso (1532–1594) and John Taverner (1490–1545).

*Note: Both performances are exactly the same. However, due to the special nature of this work, some audience members might want to attend both performances to experience the work from different spatial vantage points by sitting in different seats for each performance.
