Lamb of God - a concert for choir and soloists with Music Box and Laughton Village Choir

For the first time, Music Box presents a concert of choral music. We’ve teamed up with Laughton Village Choir to bring you a fascinating selection of settings of one of the best-known liturgical texts – the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God). Ending with the American composer Samuel Barber’s transcription from his famous Adagio for Strings, we’ll visit England, France, Italy and Germany along the way, with solos, duets and choral movements from across the centuries. The programme will include settings of the Agnus Dei from:
