    Description: A Sky Full of Stars
    Following the success of our sold out immersive experience last year, this new event is more than a concert, but rather an immersive candlelit choral experience

    Step into a world of light and sound as The Canterbury Chamber Choir presents A Sky Full of Stars — an immersive choral performance where you are free to move through the candlelit space, watch the singers up close, and let the music surround you.

    This unique concert invites you to experience choral music not just as a listener, but as part of the soundscape itself — walking beneath the vaults, pausing in pools of candlelight, and feeling voices rise and fade all around you.

    Programme highlights:

    • Jonathan Dove’s Seek Him That Maketh the Seven Stars — a glittering evocation of the night sky.

    • Ēriks Ešenvalds’ Stars — ethereal beauty, with tuned wine glasses shimmering like constellations.

    • Morten Lauridsen’s O Nata Lux & Sure on This Shining Night — luminous harmonies that glow with tenderness.

    • Will Todd’s My Lord Has Come — hushed intimacy with moments of radiant joy.

    • Patrick Hawes’ Prayer to a Guardian Angel — serene, heartfelt devotion.

    • Rihards Dubra’s Ave Maria I — floating, meditative serenity.

    • Ola Gjeilo’s Northern Lights — breathtaking, with the chill and wonder of Arctic skies.

    • Bob Chilcott’s This Day III — bright, lyrical celebration of the present moment.

    • Dan Forrest’s The Sun Never Says — a soaring testament to unconditional love.

    • Elaine Hagenberg’s When We Love — tender and uplifting.

    • John Tavener’s Song for Athene — profound, moving, and timeless.

    • William Harris’ Faire is the Heaven — a masterpiece of English choral splendour.

     

    From whispering contemplation to expansive, star-bright climaxes, this programme surrounds you with beauty, mystery, and li
