For its first appearance post-lockdown, The Tudor Consort presents a programme of choral music responding to crisis, particularly the virulent pandemics of plague that swept Europe throughout the 15th and 16th centuries. Settings of the hymn Stella Caeli, an invocation to the Virgin Mary to destroy plague, are set against the Lamentations of Jeremiah set by Thomas Tallis and Robert White. Also featuring music by William Byrd, Francisco Guerrero and Ildebrando Pizzetti.
This concert was part of the 2020 Performance Series.
