Last of the Light
Sat 17 Oct, 19:30 - 22:00
University Church of St Mary the Virgin, Oxford
A meditation on the music of fading daylight, as we head towards the time of year when the nights are drawing in. The programme provokes us to consider the prayers and rituals as we cross the threshold between day, dusk, twilight, and our sleeping hours. Readings relevant to the theme will feature at various points in the programme.
