Performer: Hilliard Ensemble

After twenty years of international success, an emotional close to the Officium tour by the Hilliard Ensemble and Norwegian saxophonist Jan Garbarek.

There aren't many - if any - ensembles who will, in a single concert, perform music ranging from Gregorian chant to contemporary, from England to Armenia. The Hilliard ensemble do so with vocal technique that is distinctive and impressive.

The Hilliard Ensemble celebrated their fortieth birthday at the Spitalfields Music Winter Festival, at St Leonard's Church, Shoreditch.

Arvo Pärt’s contributions to contemporary choral repertoire are exceptional, and conductor Paul Hillier and the Hilliard Ensemble have been crucial collaborators for more than three decades.
