St. John the Baptist
Address
Church Lane, Cranford, Kettering, NN14 4AE, United Kingdom

Join us for a selection of meditative music for Good Friday including Allegri’s famous Miserere, performed by Fiori Musicali.

Founded in 1983 by director Dr Penelope Rapson, Fiori are one of the principal providers of professional classical and early music concerts outside London.

Fiori’s repertoire stretches from late renaissance to early romantic and beyond: from Monteverdi’s famous Vespers of 1610 to the colourful world of Schubert’s Vienna, always capturing something of how the music first sounded. They champion music from England’s renaissance and baroque, and have a particular fondness for the English choral tradition.

Tickets will be £25 or £15 for restricted view, with concessions for those with a blue badge, students and children.

For more information and to purchase tickets, please see Fiori Musicali's website: https://fiori-musicali.com/

There will be a 20 minute interval where wine and non-alcoholic drinks will be available to purchase.
