Candlemas at Wells Cathedral

In recent years Opus Anglicanum have explored the rich potential of Gregorian chant to inspire contemporary expression, notably with pianist Jason Rebello. Now, experience once more the original inspiration: Opus Anglicanum's immersive, mesmerising recreation, for unaccompanied voices alone - no piano - no harmony - just the ancient chant Vespers and Procession for Candlemas. 

During this Promenade Concert, the audience wander the chairless Nave of the cathedral and follow the singers on their candlelit procession. Enter the world of elaborate Sarum rite plainchant that filled our great cathedrals for centuries before the Reformation. A favourite OA programme now available once again.
