Songs of Ice and Fire concert
Join Polymnia chamber choir at St. Barnabas, Linslade on Sat Feb 7 at 4pm for an unforgettable concert where voices conjure the elemental forces of cold and flame.
Songs of Ice and Fire brings together music inspired by nature’s most vivid contrasts—from the chill of winter to the burning energy of spring. From the crystalline calm of Renaissance masters to the warmth and brilliance of modern composers, the programme explores how musicians across the centuries have captured these elemental extremes.
Expect moments of drama, tenderness, sparkle, and heat, plus a few surprises along the way; it’s a vivid musical journey through many contrasting worlds, that promises to captivate and energise you.
