Inspired by Shakespeare's "All the world's a stage" monologue from As you like it, this beguiling programme of unaccompanied choral music traces a course from the cradle to the grave. Our intriguing and eclectic journey begins with the tender sounds of Eric Whitacre's Sleep, my child, and ends with William Harris' luscious Bring us, O Lord God, taking in music old (Dufay, Tallis, Gabrieli, Byrd) and new (Dominick Argento's There was a naughty boy, Bob Chilcott’s Even such is time), as well as evergreen works by Bruckner, Parry and Holst. The centrepiece of our programme is Thea Musgrave's 2010 Proms commission Ithaca, a celebration of life's journey in all its splendour.

A glass of wine will be served in the interval.
