Dive into the world of art with our weekly art fix!
This Friday 24 October, Octo Voces will take you on a journey through time, exploring the lasting power of sacred texts and the evolving musical languages that bring them to life.
Taking place from 7:30pm at St Joseph’s Church, the ‘Living Tradition’ programme pairs early music with contemporary reimagining’s, showing how composers across centuries have drawn from the same spiritual sources to create works of beauty and emotional depth.
Living Tradition is more than a concert – it’s a dialogue across time. By pairing ancient and modern voices, Octo Voces reveals how sacred music continues to evolve while remaining rooted in shared human longing and devotion.
Entry is free. Retiring collection.
