Join Tenebrae and Michael McCaffrey for an evening of music and meditation designed to help you slow down and reconnect with yourself through the sheer beauty of sound.
Tenebrae is one of the world’s leading choirs, and under the direction of Nigel Short this evening they perform a sequence of beautiful, reflective choral works from composers including Lobo, Allegri and Rachmaninov. Throughout the evening, mindfulness teacher Michael McCaffrey guides us towards deeper listening through a focus on the breath.
