About This Event

Intoxicating and hauntingly beautiful, John Tavener鈥檚 work has had an undeniable impact on British music.

To mark the tenth anniversary of his death, we join with Cambridge Music Festival to present some of his most famous works (including Song for Athene) alongside music by those who influenced him, his teachers and pupils, and those who knew him from childhood.

There will be a brief break halfway through the concert.
