Arundel Choirbook in Concert at St Nicholas’ Church, Arundel

To celebrate the 500^th anniversary of the Arundel Choirbook (Lambeth Palace Library MS 1), in conjunction with the exhibition ‘Sing Joyfully: Exploring Music in Lambeth Palace Library’, join us at St Nicholas’ Church in historic Arundel, West Sussex, for a concert of music from the Arundel Choirbook and its contemporaries. This is a unique opportunity to hear the music from the Arundel Choirbook in the place where it was produced 500 years ago.

Performed by the Iken Scholars, one of London’s premier chamber choirs, under the baton of director Matthew Dunn, this concert will place music from the Arundel Choirbook in conversation with the wider environment of 16^th century church music. The concert will feature selections from the set known as the ‘Lambeth Anonymous’, found only in the Arundel Choirbook and of unknown authorship, which have been recently recorded by the Iken Scholars in the historic Lambeth Palace Chapel. This album will be released later this year.

This event will be organised and hosted by the Friends of St Nicholas Church, Arundel, in the unique medieval building that houses both St Nicholas Church and the Roman Catholic Fitzalan Chapel. All money raised from the concert will go towards maintaining and improving the fabric of their remarkable 14^th-century church.

Please note that this event is taking place in Arundel and tickets must be booked via the venue, NOT via Lambeth Palace Library.

The Iken Scholars will be performing the same repertoire at Lambeth Palace on 25th September. To book for that concert, click here.
