Gothic Voices celebrate Mary in her various guises - caring mother, virgin lover, guiding light. Ancient ritualistic texts explore her mythical and human aspects and are set to music by masters of medieval England, while contemporary settings by Joanne Metcalf, Andrew Smith and Arvo P盲rt relate the themes to the modern day.

Followed by Ethel Smyth's Concerto for Violin and Horn.
