The stirring words and imagery of seventeenth-century poets John Milton and John Donne have inspired composers for three hundred years to write some of their finest music. This concert by the Evensong Singers explores profound historic and modern poetry set to music by composers including Hubert Parry, William Harris, Stephanie Martin, and William Walton. The program will also feature the world premiere of Te Deum and Jubilate by British composer Joanna Marsh.
