Sacred choral concert -
The Cathedral of Our Lady of Walsingham
19 October 2018

Tonight's program was eclectic, to say the least, and was entitled 'Fractured Time'. Time was indeed 'fractured' in the juxtaposition of Taverner and Part throughout the program. The similarities of texture and the flow of time common to each was uncanny. The continued alternation of Renaissance and Modern furthered this theme.
Here is the very interesting program -
