The Canterbury Songs

Join us on a journey to the fairytale Canterbury, to the England of the 16th century. A breathtaking landscape inspired the medieval writer Geoffrey Chaucer around 1400 to write his famous work 'The Canterbury Tales'. Based on Chaucer's epic book, conductor Peter Phillips and the Netherlands Chamber Choir will perform the most beautiful madrigals and motets from that time. A programme interwoven with newly written miniature compositions by the English composer William Knight.
