For Choir/Soloists/Audience/Children's Choir/Narrator/Percussion
"Simon Speare has produced a remarkable piece: a series of songs linked by a narrator but with everyone from audience to
chamber choir involved. From the Biblical Flight to Egypt to life in contemporary Britain, it draws on universal concerns of
asylum seekers: the hopes and fears of those who seek a place of safety."

Purcell - Dido and Aeneas
Canticum’s final concert of the season features two of the greatest baroque choral works with top period instrument ensemble Counterpoint.
In the first half Canticum will perform Handel’s dazzling virtuoso setting of Psalm 110. After the interval the choir will be joined by the soprano, Nina Bennet, in the role of Dido for a concert performance of Purcell’s operatic masterpiece.
Music of great humour for witches and drunken sailors provides a contrast to some of the most moving and poignant scenes in baroque opera, including Dido’s famous lament.
