The Ebor Singers: Into Darkness

🌌 Have you ever immersed yourself in music in complete darkness? Not just dimmed lights, but total, enveloping blackness?

Join The Ebor Singers for a unique and transformative experience that starts with flickering candlelight and gradually leads into absolute darkness. Inspired by the ancient Tenebrae services of Holy Week, this performance explores emotional and spiritual transformations from light to shadow — a deeply human, sensory journey.

✨ Allow yourself to be captivated by some of the most hauntingly beautiful choral pieces ever composed: Whitacre’s ethereal ‘Sleep’, Lotti’s poignant ‘Crucifixus’, and selections from Bach to Bob Dylan. Each piece has been thoughtfully chosen to resonate in the dark, where every breath and harmony feels more tender and alive.

🕯️ The evening promises a deep dive into stillness, a meditation on light and loss, offering a rare opportunity to truly listen amidst the darkness.
