When David Heard
A slow-burn, underground choral night.
The Purcell Singers perform a rich a cappella programme in the candlelit surroundings of Smith Square Hall, exploring themes of darkness, light, despair, and hope. The evening features Eric Whitacre’s emotive lamentation When David Heard, alongside Sven-David Sandström’s spectral Four Songs of Love. The performance also includes Einojuhani Rautavaara’s dramatic Missa a cappella and concludes with Tõnu Kõrvits’ evocative setting of Emily Brontë’s text, The Night is Darkening Round Me, creating a complex texture of sound that mirrors the fall of night.
