“The darkness is no darkness with Thee, But the night is as clear as the day…” – Psalm 139
Join Music in the Round at dusk in the company of Ensemble 360, Sheffield Chamber Choir, and talented young string players from Sheffield Music Hub. This concert promises to be a magical exploration of the exquisite melancholy of the drawing in of evening, featuring madrigals and contemporary choral works, together with Mahler’s lush setting of Beethoven’s much-loved Serioso string quartet.
