'Every item is a distinctive delight, beautifully sung, interspersed with perfectly judged readings.' — Dame Emma Kirkby
Opus Anglicanum presents an immersive evening of ethereal plainchant for the Christian feast of Candlemas. Hear ancient antiphons, psalms and hymns and follow the singers as they process around the beautiful interior of Wells Cathedral, which will be stripped of chairs and pews. Experience the world of elaborate Sarum rite plainchant that filled our great cathedrals for centuries before the Reformation.
