WollCon Chamber Choir Presents Polyphony Continued

The WollCon Chamber Choir

Polyphony Continued is an evocative concert tracing the evolution of choral music across more than 500 years, from the serene clarity of the faith-inspired Renaissance to the lush harmonies of the modern era. Polyphony – the interweaving of independent melodies – lies at the heart of this programme, showcasing how voices working together in tandem create an experience that is so much more than the sum of its parts.
