THE CONCERT HAS BEEN CANCELED - ALLEGRI’S MISERERE

As Easter approaches, the Swedish Radio Choir gives a devout and spiritually rewarding programme about forgiveness and meditation, reflection and regret. Masterpieces from the Renaissance such as Gregorio Allegri’s famous and enchanting Miserere intertwine with contemporary musical observations. The conductor is Nigel Short, one of England’s foremost choirmasters and also founder and musical director of the internationally acclaimed ensemble, Tenebrae.
