About the event
Join Blackburn Chamber Choir for an evening of profound beauty as we perform one of the greatest achievements of Renaissance sacred music.
At the heart of the programme is Tomás Luis de Victoria’s Officium Defunctorum (1605), often regarded as the crowning masterpiece of the Spanish Renaissance. Written towards the end of Victoria’s life, this extraordinary Requiem is music of remarkable serenity and emotional depth, weaving luminous harmonies with moments of quiet contemplation to create a deeply moving musical journey.
The programme is complemented by a selection of Victoria’s exquisite motets, showcasing the expressive richness and spiritual intensity that have made his music treasured for over four centuries.
Whether you’re discovering Victoria for the first time or returning to a much-loved masterpiece, this promises to be an unforgettable evening of sublime choral music in the magnificent setting of Blackburn Cathedral.
