O quam gloriosum | London Concord Singers

London Concord Singers, conductor Jessica Norton, celebrate Summer with Victoria's Missa O quam gloriosum, based on his own joyful motet of 1572. Perhaps one of the most perfect masses ever written, it balances great simplicity with controlled fervour. We will be performing both the mass and the motet, alongside a selection of motets by Poulenc, Rameau, Duruflé Bruckner and Hassler, plus Sir James MacMillan's O radiant dawn from his Strathclyde motets.

We will be performing in one of the City's hidden gems, the church of St Bartholomew the Less within St Bartholomew's Hospital grounds (inside the Henry VIII gate entrance in West Smithfield), which has an 18th century octagonal interior created by George Dance the Younger within the medieval shell.
