The renowned Kantos Chamber Choir celebrates its 10th anniversary by joining forces with two fellow Mancunian musical institutions for a special one-off show this June.
On Sat 20 Jun, Hope on Earth will see Kantos collaborate with the Royal Northern College of Music (RNCM) Chamber Choir and the University of Manchester Chamber Choir for a stirring evening of music that celebrates Kantos’ legacy so far, and the future of choral music in the North.
The evening’s programme will be crafted around powerful songs of protest, change and hope. In true Kantos style, brand-new pop arrangements will sit alongside seminal choral masterpieces; from Aaron Copland to Bob Dylan, and Arnold Schoenberg to Louis Armstrong.
Tallis’ monumental Spem in Alium sits at the heart of the performance, with audiences invited to experience this 40-part masterpiece in surround sound, in the glorious acoustic and dramatic backdrop of Manchester Monastery.
After the show, all guests are invited to continue the celebrations with a post-concert toast to a decade of Kantos.
