Cambridge University Symphony Chorus and the Helsinki Music Centre Choir join forces to present an evening of choral music exploring the themes of home and relationship to place. Familiar motets from one of University of Cambridge’s most illustrious composer alumni, CV Stanford, sit alongside intimate partsongs by the godfather of Finnish music, Jean Sibelius.

The programme is completed by songs of home and its loss, dwelling and belonging, by Caroline Shaw, Michael Tippett, Brahms and Verdi, and Leonard Bernstein’s riotous and heartfelt Chichester Psalms, composed in Hebrew for the choir of Chichester Cathedral.
