Armonico Consort Presents

Rachmaninov Vespers by Candelight

Thu 3 Jul 2025

With Director – Christopher Monks

Just 110 years ago, what is widely praised as Rachmaninov’s greatest achievement and the greatest achievement of the Russian Orthodox Church was created. The composer managed to find a way of turning the choir into an orchestra, both texturally and dynamically. The music was so personal to Rachmaninov, that he requested the ‘Nunc Dimitis’, the fifth movement be sung at his funeral

In the exquisite late evening setting of St Mary’s in Warwick/Malvern Priory (candlelit setting of Poole Lighthouse), be transported by what is simply the most gorgeous choral music ever to have been written, and for a moment in time, simply nothing else in life will matter.
