The Palestrina Influence: Celebrating the birth of a Master
St Michael & All Angels Parish Church, Oxford, OX2 7ES
Sunday 16th November 2025
Join the Bartholomew Consort under the direction of JanJoost van Elburg in this performance of Palestrina's wonderful mass for double choir, Missa Confitebor tibi Domine. In this year when we celebrate the 500th anniversary of Palestrina's birth there have been many tributes offered for his output of great music, yet few have included this particular Mass. The movements will be interspersed with other multivoice works by English near contemporaries William Byrd and Thomas Tomkins as well as an uplifting anthem by the Edwardian conposer, Charles Stanford.
The Bartholomew Consort has been offering excellent performances of choral music in Oxford and throughout the UK and Western Europe since 2001 under its distinguished Musical Director JanJoost van Elburg.
