Syntony presents a concert of five centuries of glorious English choral music. At the heart of the program are three works full of luscious harmonies by Henry Purcell. They sing of wisdom, love, beauty and birds in anthems, madrigals and folksongs. They also commemorate the 400th Anniversary of Orlando Gibbons’ death with his iconic lament The Silver Swan.
