Friday, April 18, 2025 at 7:30pm

Juno-nominated Luminous Voices presents a moving Good Friday performance featuring powerful works by Tallis, Bach, and Howells. The program begins with Knut Nystedt’s Komm, süsser Tod, a tribute to Bach, before transitioning to Thomas Tallis’s breathtaking Lamentations of Jeremiah I.

In the final instalment of Luminous Voices' Bach motet series, begun in 2013, the choir presents Jesu, meine Freude, a masterful work featuring 11 movements of chorales, choruses, and solo trios. The program concludes with Herbert Howells’ Requiem, an introspective and contemplative work that highlights the full range of vocal harmonic colours that define Luminous Voices.

Special guests:

Janet Kuschak, cello

Wendy Markosky, organ
