The 40-part motet

Spem in Alium

Saturday 23 July 2011, 8pm

Sacred Heart Cathedral
Hill Street
Wellington

Directed by Michael Stewart

Many will have experienced Janet Cardiff’s installation at the Wellington City Gallery last year; now is your chance to hear this epic work of the Renaissance with a live choir. Spem in Alium has not been performed in Wellington since The Tudor Consort’s 20th anniversary in 2006. This time, we will present it alongside its presumed precursor: the 40-part motet Ecce beatam lucem by Italian composer Alessandro Striggio. Tickets to this concert will be limited, so ensure a seat by purchasing a subscription!

This concert was part of the 2011 Subscription Series.

In all, this was a splendid performance…the music was uplifting and inspiring [and] the audience was rapt.
