From Tewkesbury Abbey, the Hilliard Ensemble and the 大象传媒 Singers under David Hill perform at the 2014 Cheltenham Festival. Tavener: Ikon of Light. Part: Stabat Mater; Miserere.

Live in Concert The 大象传媒 Singers and the Hilliard Ensemble conducted by David Hill perform music by John Tavener and Arvo P盲rt at the 2014 Cheltenham Music Festival.

The 大象传媒 Singers and the four voices of the Hilliard Ensemble join forces for a concert of meditative, holy music in the glorious 12th century setting of Tewkesbury Abbey.

The Hilliard Ensemble, celebrating their 40th anniversary this year, gave the first performance of P盲rt's reflective setting of the Stabat Mater. For this evening they are joined by members of the Carducci String Quartet.

The 大象传媒 Singers are also joined by the string trio for Tavener's mystical "Ikon of Light" which was premiered thirty years ago at the 1984 Cheltenham Music Festival in Tewkesbury Abbey.

Finally The Hilliard Ensemble and the 大象传媒 Singers perform together with an 11 piece instrumental ensemble, including an electric guitar, and the German soprano Claudia Reinhard for P盲rt's setting of Psalm 51 - Miserere.
