About

From the innocent spark of first encounters to the profound depths of enduring relationships, this concert explores how love evolves, transforms, and ultimately defines our human experience.


The programme ranges from fiery madrigals from Morten Laurisden to an arrangement of ABBA’s iconic SOS for choir, and features a new work by 2024 National Youth Choir Young Composer Millicent B James.
