Seeking You - choir concert

A journey of original choral music, featuring works by Kerensa Briggs, Knut Nystedt and Robert Schumann, as well as by members of the choir. Come with us on a musical voyage of longing and hope in the beautiful setting of All Souls' Church.

In this final concert of our 2024-25 season, we will perform the complete cycle of Nystedt's "Prayers of Kierkegaard", which we have been building up during the year, as well as all four of Schumann's songs for double choir. We also introduce two works by contemporary British composer, Kerensa Briggs.

Jan Bulley is a mixed media artist, ceramicist and printmaker based in Boston Spa near Wetherby (venue no.9). With a previous background in garden design, plants and landscape are integral to Jan’s work which has evolved into a fluid semi-abstract style capturing ephemeral tranquility and atmosphere.

Each venue provides refreshments, including homemade cakes, for a donation to our chosen charity - this year we are supporting Yorkshire Cancer Research.
