Nicholas Mulroy leads Scotland’s only professional choir through music that invites contemplation and reflection in four of Scotland’s most beautiful acoustics. The season of Lent, a time of penitence for Christians leading up to Easter, has inspired composers over the centuries to write some of their most beautiful and heartrending music. In this a cappella programme, you’ll hear connections between renaissance polyphony, Francis Poulenc, and Cheryl Frances-Hoad.
