Minerva Voices presents a summer evening performance set amidst the historic grounds of Canterbury’s eleventh-century castle next week, on Tuesday 24 May.
As the sun sets, the ancient flint and sandstone walls of the surviving keep will ring to the upper-voice chamber choir’s colourful programme, which includes medieval plainsong, Norwegian folksong, Veljo Tormis ‘filigree Spring Sketches,’ Bob Chilcott’s scintillating ‘Song of the Stars,’ and pieces by Mozart, Holst and Gounod. The concert will conclude with a dramatic Norwegian telling of the ‘Song of Roland,’ for which the choir will be joined by percussionist Cory Adams.

The concert starts at 19.30, and is with the kind permission of Canterbury City Council. Please note that there is no seating at the site, so you might like to bring a blanket or folding-chair; the performance will last approximately fifty minutes.
