Bradford Festival Choral Society presents a rich and uplifting summer concert celebrating the music of two of Europes great musical cities.

From the vibrant splendour of Venetian church music to the ceremonial grandeur of Paris, this programme brings together some of the finest Baroque choral works of the 17th and early 18th centuries. Vivaldis much-loved Gloria crowns the evening, alongside Charpentiers resplendent Te Deum and expressive music by Monteverdi, Maria Peruchona, and Barbara Strozzi.

Performed by choir and soloists with the period-instrument ensemble Baroque in the North, and conducted by Thomas Leech, this concert offers a vivid and colourful journey through the musical glories of Paris and Venice, brought to life in the beautiful setting of Skipton Town Hall.
