About Lady Clares Consort: Songs of Turmoil - The Priory Church

A powerful evening of choral music exploring conflict, loss, and resilience across five centuries.

Songs of Turmoil brings together music born from moments of crisis - from the religious upheaval of Renaissance Europe to the stark emotional landscapes of the 20th and 21st centuries. Featuring composers from Tallis and Byrd to Poulenc, Britten, MacMillan and Cecilia McDowell, this programme moves between intense drama and moments of luminous stillness.

At its centre, Poulencs Un soir de neige offers a chilling meditation on isolation and fear, while Renaissance masterpieces by Gombert, Ockeghem and Gesualdo confront mortality and grief with striking immediacy. Contemporary works bring a raw, personal urgency, reminding us that these themes remain as resonant today as ever.

Performed in the atmospheric setting of Bolton Abbey Priory, this is sure to be a compelling and thoroughly enjoyable summer concert.
