We last sang in Ewenny Priory in February 2016, and it was such a treat to return there last Saturday (9th March 2019) to sing a programme of unaccompanied music for Lent and Passiontide.
Ewenny Priory was founded in the 12th century for Benedictine monks of Gloucester Abbey and is unusual, as it is surrounded by a fortified perimeter wall.
The space inside the Abbey worked fantastically for our programme, as the monastic end of the church (separated from the rest of the building by a beautiful glass screen) allowed us to perform some pieces ‘unseen’.
We’d like to extend a big thank you to all those at Ewenny who invited us and organised such a fantastic concert, and we hope to see you again soon!
Our next concert will be in St Augustine’s Church, Penarth; a programme of music inspired by poetry. Full programme information will be available closer to the time but it will include music from Elgar, Whitacre, Rutter and Shearing plus others.
