About This Event
Songs of Light and Longing takes place at Swansea Minster in Swansea on Friday, July 4, 2026 at 7:00 PM. The concert features Voces Tavae, a small chamber choir, performing a choral programme in the church’s expansive acoustic at 11A Saint Mary’s Square, Swansea, SA1 3LP.
The programme explores themes of light, longing, stillness, and hope through a mix of classical and contemporary choral music. Works by Byrd, Gibbons, and Stanford are performed alongside pieces by Gjeilo, Chilcott, MacMillan, and Mealor. The repertoire includes Northern Lights, The Blue Bird, Ave Verum Corpus, and As the Long Day Closes.
Voces Tavae made its debut on Valentine’s Day, earning praise for its refined sound and emotional impact. This performance continues that work in one of Swansea’s historic spaces, with choral singing shaped by the setting and the programme’s varied selection of music.
