A Prayer of Peace and Light
We return to Cheltenham with a summer sequence inspired by light and luminosity - journeying through music by Vaughan Williams at his most mystical to a radiant motet by William Byrd. Among moments of hope and stillness are works by Arvo Pärt and British-Iranian composer Soosan Lolavar.
