The Crimson Sun conjures up the wonder of winter’s changing landscape through the very best contemporary choral writing for the season – with a sprinkling of early music favourites by William Byrd, Guerrero and Handl. The programme illuminates the magical quality of dark winter nights whilst speaking of a time of rejoicing and celebrating with the sharing of fifts and through the miracle of birth, hailed with wonder and elation.
