| 24-Apr-2013 Cadogan Hall | The Tudor dynasty: Alamire perform at Cadogan Hall |
 Some of England’s greatest choral music dates from the period of political and religious upheaval during the late 15th to early 17th centuries, when composers were having to adapt to new monarchs and changes to the church service almost as frequently as they would have changed their shirts. This created an extremely fertile atmosphere for new and experimental choral music, using the full spectrum of vocal colour and texture, from the lowest bass to the highest treble in the church choir.

| 23-Feb-2013 St George's Bristol | The divine and the worldly: Exultate Singers at St George's Bristol |
 Choral concerts often have programmes that read like compilation CDs.

Exultate are a rising star in the choral world and the choir’s brilliance in this concert sang of its continued ascension.Read full review... | |

 The programme for this concert – entitled “The Day of Thy Power” – comprised Robert Fayrfax’s Missa Tecum principium, and Tallis’ Lamentations I and II. In both Fayrfax’s and Tallis’ time, there was great political, social and religious unrest and change; the arrival of the Tudors and the actions of each successive heir to the throne brought tumult to England and beyond.Read full review... | |
