About This Event

Relax into a late-night musical meditation with Grammy-nominated vocal group VOCES8 and a playlist that drifts from the Renaissance to Radiohead. This Prom explores the universal, timeless themes of night, stillness and prayer through the lens of composers old and new, from William Byrd to Ola Gjeilo, Eric Whitacre and Caroline Shaw. Leave your troubles at the door and join us for a stress-busting, soul-nourishing treat.

There will be no interval
