Join us for an evening of romantic German lieder and a
UK premiere at the National Musicians’ Church.

Chamber choir Canticum presents a choral journey
through the timeless beauty of German song, from
Mendelssohn and Schubert to 16-part settings by
Mahler and Richard Strauss. The concert culminates
in the UK premiere of Korean composer Hye-Yong
Cho’s arrangement of Schumann’s beloved song
cycle Dichterliebe. With the original piano part left
unchanged, this ingenious setting offers a compelling
new perspective on a Romantic masterpiece
