For the first time, the choir unites with the Royal Northern College of Music Chamber Choir and the University of Manchester Chamber Choir, bringing together massed voices for an evening celebrating Kantos? legacy so far, and the future of choral music in the North. In true Kantos style, brand new pop arrangements sit alongside seminal choral masterpieces; from Aaron Copland to Bob Dylan, and Arnold Schoenberg to Louis Armstrong. Tallis? monumental Spem in alium sits at the heart of the programme; experience this 40-part masterpiece in surround-sound, in the glorious acoustic of Manchester Monastery. When the final song fades, the celebration continues with a post-concert toast to a decade of Kantos. Photo credit: Eve Sanders ? Tickets PWYC ?11 / ?22 / ?33 Promoted by Kantos Chamber Choir.
