Doors open at 6:45 pm. Pre-concert talk at 7:10 pm. Concert at 8 pm.

Dialogos from France performs Swithun! Music from Winchester c.1000.

Dialogos explores early polyphony from Winchester (10th–11th centuries) in a semi-staged performance with English subtitles. Through the voice of Wulfstan the Cantor, we follow the path of a penitent man haunted by his visionary dreams, trying to escape from three raging Furies, wild as wolves, and finally finding salvation from Swithun, saint of all miracles.
