In celebration of its 25th anniversary, the Chantry Quire is offering a performance of Monteverdi’s Vespers (1610) at Boxgrove Priory on March 29 at 7.30pm.
The choir will be accompanied by the Western Wynds, led by cornett player Jeremy West, one of the founders of His Majesty’s Sagbutts and Cornetts.
Spokeswoman Carol Frogley said: “This sublime work is a musical setting of the evening Vespers on Marian feasts, scored for soloist, choir and players. Published in Venice, with a dedication to Pope Paul V, this work was first published in 1610.”
