An evening of sublime sounds in the resounding acoustic of St Augustine’s to celebrate music from Tudor polyphony to the present day. We mark 400 years since the death of William Byrd and Thomas Weelkes, as well as celebrating Balmain composer Ross Edwards’ 80th birthday, in a program based around prayers for light in dark times.
