Event description

This ticket is for our Wellington concert, please click here for Featherston tickets.

A celebration of light across space and centuries. We begin close to home, with dappled suns on soft ferns in Leonie Holmes’ through coiled stillness, and ‘golden sea-snakes’ of Wellington city meeting ‘sleepy kisses of the moon’ in Takerei Komene’s Te Māhina and He Kihi o te Rā (The Moon and Kiss of the Sun). 

Diverse settings of familiar texts explore light as a timeless muse - including a world premiere of O Nata Lux by David Griffiths (Wellington performance only) as well as the well-known setting of Thomas Tallis that was sung at the first ever Tudor Consort concert back in 1986!

The music reaches the majestic in William Walton’s Cantico del Sole - an untamed invocation to Brother Sun and Sister Death, celebrating the splendours of life-giving light. We round the programme out with works by Eric Whitacre, Thomas Tallis, David Hamilton, and Ross Harris. 

There will be a pre-concert talk in the cathedral at 7pm.
