Amelia Coburn Live in Concert
Amelia Coburn Live in Concert
Amelia Coburn has a knack for making the unusual sound timeless.
Her Bill Ryder-Jones produced debut album gained a cult following, including praise from British music legends Paul Weller and Paul Heaton - as well as national radio play across BBC Radio 2, 3, 4, 5, 6music, Scotland, Ulster and Introducing in the North East.
Amelia’s honest, occasionally hilarious and quintessentially north-eastern persona disarms and beguiles in equal measure: this is art without artifice.

Harry Christophers' The Sixteen
Harry Christophers' The Sixteen
Spain’s Siglo de Oro, the Age of Gold, gave rise to some of the greatest sacred choral music of the Renaissance. We devote our latest Choral Pilgrimage to pieces by two outstanding Spanish composers, exploring majestic works by Cristóbal de Morales, famed throughout Europe and in the New World, and the exquisite polyphony of Sebastián de Vivánco, whose intricately crafted counterpoint adorned services at the cathedrals of Ávila and Salamanca during the late 1500s.
Our programme also features spellbinding settings of words by Saint John Henry Newman: Sir James MacMillan’s Nothing in Vain for soloists and double choir and the world premiere of Kerensa Briggs’ Lead, Kindly Light, specially commissioned for the Choral Pilgrimage.
