Londinium (chamber choir), Andrew Griffiths (conductor)
Friday 10 October at 7.30pm
Tickets £10 - £20
Londinium launches its twentieth anniversary season with a typically seductive programme inspired by Hieronymus Bosch's The Garden of Earthly Delights. Our musical journey through this astonishing triptych leads us from Creation and Eden into Bosch's famous garden of unbridled lust, decadence, and excess — and the grotesque hellscape which looms alongside. The repertoire reflects the breadth of Bosch's prodigious imagination: luscious Renaissance motets and chansons by such composers as Crecquillon, Janequin, Cardoso, de la Rue, and Vivanco are balanced by outstanding recent works by James MacMillan, Thea Musgrave, Anselm McDonnell, Agneta Sköld, György Orbán and Bo Holten, whilst our programme is crowned by the passionate sounds of Pizzetti's Dies irae.
Tickets include a complimentary programme, and wine will be served in the interval.

A season of Arabic Culture presents a rare and intimate evening with El Far3i, where the spotlight falls entirely on the acoustic soul of his music. Stripping back the beats and bars, this special performance will journey through the raw, unfiltered sound.
Known for his multi-layered sonic projects and pioneering role in shaping the Arab independent scene, El Far3i brings his acoustic albums and songs to life, from the poetic resonance of Soat Min Khashab to the haunting beauty of El Rajol El Khashabi. This show is dedicated to the melodies and stories that echo from the mountains of Palestine to the streets of Amman, and beyond.
Expect his acoustic music with no electronics, no backup - just words and soul. A deep dive into themes of love, borders, identity, and the deeply personal.
Whether you’ve followed El Far3i from his early guitar sessions in Amman’s cafés, or you’ve just discovered the subtle power in his stripped-down sound, or have seen him with the electrifying 47Soul: this night is for those who want to feel the music, not just hear it.
Don’t miss El Far3i – The Acoustic Session.
