Trailblazing vocal ensemble Kantos Chamber Choir head for the Haworth moors, with a unique programme of music and spoken word.
Kantos Chamber Choir are bringing their latest spine-tingling performance, ‘Brontë’, to St Michael and All Angels Church, Haworth on the afternoon of Sunday, September 22nd.
The choir will aim to wow new audiences by examining the lives and passions of the mysterious Brontë sisters through the eyes of their friend and supporter, Elizabeth Gaskell.
Featuring music by Gerald Finzi, John Ireland, Cecilia McDowell and John Tavener, the hour-long programme of choral music and spoken word will immerse listeners in the isolated hilltop hive of creativity from where the sisters wove their intricate stories of desire, devotion, depravity and despair.
The choir will be joined by Elizabeth Gaskell expert Sherry Ashworth, who will curate and present the programme for this unique performance.
Kantos are committed to ensuring choral music is accessible to a wider, more diverse audience.
The choir aims to shake up the tradition of choral music and perform at a professional level in the North of England, where there are currently no full-time professional chamber choirs.
Their events are for keen classical music fans and brand-new audience members alike; all are welcome!
Rev. Oli Preston, the Rector at Haworth’s St Michael & All Angels, said: “We’re really excited that Kantos Chamber Choir are coming to our church and looking forward to their concert.”
