From 14th-19th centuries thousands of people were sentenced to death for being in queer relationships
From the 14th to 19th centuries, thousands of people all over Europe were sentenced to death for being in same-sex and queer relationships. This concert commemorates these martyrs of the LGBTQ+ community, telling their stories and remembering their lives.
Within the stunning gothic setting of Farm Street Catholic church, the choir will perform a moving programme including Herbert Howell's Requiem, extracts of Alonso Lobo's Lamentations of Jeremiah and contemporary works by Michael Bussewitz-Quarm, Gabriel Jackson and Jake Runestad.
