Sat 20 Jun 2026, Sherborne Abbey, Sherborne

A summers evening of wonderful choral music all connected with close of the day and with more than a nod to the amazing images of our universe that the recent Artemis II voyage has shared. Sit back in the splendour of Sherborne Abbey and enjoy a voyage in music from the sixteenth century through to the present day: Ivo Antognini Come to me Benjamin Britten The evening primrose Harold Darke O gladsome light Edward Elgar The prince of sleep riks Eenvalds Stars Gerald Finzi Magnificat Herbert Howells Magnificat St Pauls Service Morten Lauridsen Sure on this shining night Joanna Marsh Evening prayer Ben Parry Lighten our darkness Josef Rheinberger Abendlied Thomas Tallis Te lucis ante terminum, O nata lux Eric Whitacre Sleep Charles Wood Hail, gladdening light Conductor Paul Ellis Organist Charlie Gurnham
