Programme
Overview
Experience the haunting beauty of Jeremiah’s Lamentations as the BBC Singers unite Renaissance polyphony with contemporary composition. Featuring Thomas Tallis’s iconic setting alongside bold new works by Cassandra Miller and Nico Muhly, this concert offers a profound musical journey. Tickets from £15.The BBC Singers present an evocative evening of music drawn from the biblical Lamentations of Jeremiah. Thomas Tallis’s austere Renaissance setting unfolds with intricate polyphony, each voice weaving a tapestry of grief and consolation. Two contemporary composers—Cassandra Miller and Nico Muhly—offer fresh responses: Miller’s shimmering textures evoke the text’s haunting elegy, while Muhly’s dynamic rhythms bring renewed intensity to the ancient lament. Together, these works trace a path from sorrow to quiet hope, inviting listeners into a space of deep reflection. Tickets from £15 (booking fee applies).
