On Saturday 25th January, members of the Etone choir once again had the incredible opportunity to perform alongside Armonico Consort, directed by Christopher Monks.

Students performed a premiere of the work Supersize Polyphony 2 by Hollywood composer David Buckley as well as the incredible Spem in Alium by Thomas Tallis. Spem in Alium has a staggering 40 different vocal parts so singers need to be very good to perform these different lines simultaneously.

Students were able to listen to professional performances as well as getting to perform alongside the amazing professional singers. We were treated to a diverse programme of vocal works in full surround sound (16th century style) which even included music by the composer Hildegard Von Bingen (11th century).

What an incredible evening and thank you very much for inviting us to have such an incredible opportunity.
