WHEN DAVID HEARD

Director Mark Chambers | Sestina 

​

June 25th | 7.30pm | Live-streamed | Free tickets via Eventbrite

​

In a programme based around the almost unknown work Lacrime de Davide by Biagio Marini, this programme will explore the nature of the lament of King David for his son Jonathan, using a new performing edition produced by Mark Chambers. This rarely heard work will be paired with well-known choral settings of ‘When David heard that Absalon was slain’ by Weelkes and Ramsey, written as an outpouring of grief for the death of Prince Henry in 1612.

​

This performance will be available for two weeks after broadcast.
