Voices for Change: an evening of contemporary choral music

Join us for an exclusive World Leprosy Day performance of “Treasures of Byzantium” held in the stunning surroundings of St Stephen Walbrook in the City of London.

This concert performance of newly commissioned music and dance brings to vivid life four evocative Greek poems of the Byzantine era, including 'Between Sea and Sky' three largely unaccompanied choral and solo pieces by Irish composer Solfa Carlile and the world première of 'Akathistos' by BAFTA Award-winning composer, Nick Bicât, featuring choreography by Siân Hopkins and a range of unusual wind and percussion instruments.

Director of Music, James Potter, will lead the Cantata Dramatica choir and soloists whilst the Community Choir of St Stephen Walbrook will join for the closing scenes of strife and triumph.

This unique event will be hosted by St Stephen Walbrook, an iconic City of London church featuring a circular stone altar by Henry Moore, and situated just 1 minute's walk from where Lepra was founded in 1924!

Proceeds from the evening will be dedicated to Lepra and St Stephen Walbrook - please join us for a magical night of music, and help us beat leprosy.
