The Canynges Society Presents

THE GESUALDO SIX: LUX AETERNA

St Mary Redcliffe Church

Wednesday 19 April 7.30pm

Tickets £20 and £15 via Eventbrite

A poignant, hopeful sequence of music commemorating the departed.

Grief touches all of us at some point during our lives, affecting each person in different ways.

The music in this programme is intended to illustrate some of these emotions, exploring musical responses to mourning and loss. In broad terms, we focus in on three perspectives: uncertainty, acknowledgement and hope. If you like, this is a sequence for the 

souls of the departed, to be heard by those who remember them.
