Many of the hymns we perform are no longer sung in churches, however, many have since passed into the folk tradition so, there is a chance you might recognise one or two.
As many of the songs have catchy sing-along choruses, audience participation is encouraged!

Palais de Mari (1986) by Morton Feldman
Palais de Mari is the last work for solo piano by North American composer Morton Feldman (1926–1987).
Despite being one of the shorter pieces among his later compositions, Feldman suspends time through the shifting and layering of small motifs and resonances, all of which combine to create a delicate and deeply moving work.
The recital will include an introduction to the work by Simon-Mary.
