Featuring an extraordinary variety of styles, colours and drama, Rachmaninov's All-Night Vigil (more commonly known as Vespers), was written in 1915 and, unlike his romantic orchestral music, the Vespers is truly sacred choral music. 

As an unaccompanied piece, hearing a full symphony chorus perform a capella is a rare treat.  This ability to sing unaccompanied is just one of the reasons why Crouch End Festival Chorus is one of the most versatile and in-demand choirs in the country.

As well as the Vespers, the concert will feature two shorter works - Sing to the Moon by critically acclaimed, Ivor Novello Award-winning British composer and performer Laura Mvula and Crossing the Bar by American folk musician and classically trained cellist and chorister, Rani Arbo.
