Saturday, 22 February 2025
7:00pm - St John-sub-Castro, Lewes
Sowing Tears and Reaping Joy: From mourning to rejoicing
Drawing on the rich heritage of Renaissance laments, and focussing especially on the many settings of King David’s lament for his son Absalon, Brighton Consort contrasts music for mourning with music brimming with life and a spirit of joyful triumph of life over death.
Please consult our Next Concert page for more information on these events and all our upcoming appearances.
Brighton Consort presents four or five concerts each year in Brighton and the surrounding area. In addition, we help to further knowledge of renaissance and early baroque music by running occasional workshops, which are led by some of the U.K.'s greatest experts on the repertoire.
Our musical director, Greg Skidmore, was appointed in August 2021 to succeed James Dixon.
Greg is well known as an expert in the interpretation of Renaissance vocal music and he has a high profile as a performer with prestigious groups such as The Tallis Scholars, I Fagiolini, The Sixteen, Ex Cathedra, Alamire, Tenebrae, and Contrapunctus. He brings to the choir a wealth of experience and great ideas for our future.
At this important stage in the development of Brighton Consort the choir is keen to recruit new members with a love for this style of music. Anyone interested is invited to email us on info@brightonconsort.org.uk for more details. We currently have vacancies in all voice parts.
