Love and nature are in full bloom in this programme of evocative imagery and shimmering harmony.

Selections from Claude Le Jeune’s innovative 16th-century Le printemps set spring as the season of love. Love is the timeless subject for Palestrina - a giant of the Italian Renaissance - and for Jean-Yves Daniel-Lesur, who brings impressionistic colour and intimacy to his choral masterpiece.

You'll also hear music by Giovanni Gabrieli, Liz Dilnot Johnson, and a world premiere from Bobbie-Jane Gardner, who takes inspiration from Daisaku Ikeda's concept of "human flowers".

Our 2025-26 cohort of talented Scholars will be joined by cornetts and sackbuts from the Royal Birmingham Conservatoire - don't miss it!

Programme includes:
Daniel-Lesur Le Cantique des cantiques
G Gabrieli Lieto Godea a8
Gardner human flowers: of the earth (world premiere)
Le Jeune Revecy venir du Printans (from Le printemps)
Palestrina Surge, propera, amica mea

Running time approx. 2 hours, including interval.
With grateful thanks to the Hinrichsen Foundation for supporting the new work from Bobbie-Jane Gardner.
