To celebrate the 500th anniversary of the Arundel Choirbook - one of only two surviving choirbooks from the reign of King Henry VIII - Lambeth Palace’s Great Hall plays host to a special concert of medieval music from the Arundel Choirbook and its contemporaries.
Performed by the Iken Scholars, one of London’s premier chamber choirs, under the baton of director Matthew Dunn, the concert will place music from the Arundel Choirbook in conversation with the wider environment of 16th-century church music, presented in suitably ancient surrounds.
Around the corner from the Palace at the Lambeth Palace Library, concertgoers can also view the ancient Choirbook itself, currently on show in the Sing Joyfully exhibition. The exhibition is open until 7:15pm on the evening of the concert and is a 5-10 minutes’ walk from the Palace Gate House.
