About this event

A rare musical event, bringing the forgotten sounds of early and Medieval Christianity back to life.

Centuries old chants – silenced for almost a millennia – will be heard again for the first time in the modern era.
The concert features liturgical works spanning centuries and traditions, including world premiere recitals of 11th to 14th-century compositions discovered in the ancient library of one of the oldest monasteries in the world.

Hear the internationally-acclaimed Chronos Ensemble, experts in Byzantine, early Christian and Medieval music; and the UK’s Mosaic Choir, specialising in liturgical music drawn from Orthodox traditions and folk music from different lands.
