Music from the St Albans Abbey scriptorium
A medieval manuscript written by the monks of St Albans Abbey 800 years ago is being brought to life in a rare live performance. For the first time in eight centuries, these monastic chants will be heard within the very space for which they were created – the church that is now St Albans Cathedral. For one evening only, the Director of Music at St Paul’s Cathedral, Andrew Carwood MBE, joins singer and early music specialist James Preston will perform chants from the book, transporting the audience you back to the sounds that shaped medieval worship. The performance will be introduced by Dr Thomas Phillips (University of Cambridge). Tickets £15/£7.50 concessions.
