Lewisham Choral Society – Monteverdi’s Vespers of 1610 – 7:30pm
Lewisham Choral Society and His Majestys Sagbutts & Cornetts transport us back to the early 17th Century with a performance of Monteverdi’s masterful Vespers of 1610.
In his dazzling vocal and instrumental writing, Monteverdi experiments with elements of Renaissance and early Baroque styles. The choral sections, set for multiple voice parts, combine with glorious solos and duets featuring seven outstanding soloists.
This performance features period instruments, enabling us to imagine how this magnificent work would have sounded in Monteverdi’s day.
Tickets £20, £15 and £2.

Upcoming Events
Nonsuch Singers – Brilliant Baroque – 7:30pm
Nonsuch Singers invite you to immerse yourself in a richly varied programme of sacred choral music spanning 17th-century Germany and Italy. From the profound intensity of Heinrich Schütz’s Musikalische Exequien and the radiant praise of his Deutsches Magnificat, to the lyrical devotion of Cavalli’s Salve Regina and Isabella Leonarda’s vibrant Litany of the Blessed Virgin Mary, this concert explores faith, grief, and exaltation through some of the period’s most compelling voices. The programme is crowned by works of J. S. Bach, including the jubilant Lobet den Herrn and deeply moving motets Komm, Jesu, Komm and Der Geist Hilft, offering a powerful and uplifting journey through the spiritual heart of the Baroque. Join us for an evening of beautiful music that stands the test of time.
