A special visit to Turner Sims in their 50th anniversary year as we mark our own centenary in 2024.

The programme includes Joby Talbot’s iconic choral piece Path of Miracles. Over three years in the making, the work was premiered in 2005 and has been captivating audiences worldwide ever since. Based on the most enduring route of Catholic pilgrimage, the great Pilgrimage to Santiago, the four movements are titled with the names of the four main staging posts of the ‘Camino Frances’ – the central axis of a network of pilgrimage routes to the Spanish city.

Reviewing the recent recording of the work, Gramophone hailed its ‘…epic, mystical quality – charged with the same sacred energy that draws listeners to the music of John Tavener and Arvo Pärt.’

This concert will be recorded for future broadcast.

Presented in partnership with the University of Southampton Department of Music
