The Tree
Apr 14, 2025

Opus Anglicanum presents The Tree – a poignant, thought-provoking and intriguing sequence of music and texts based on the tree in its physical, metaphorical, symbolic and religious forms.

The programme features music from ancient plainchant and mediaeval & renaissance polyphony through to folksongs and carols celebrating trees, alongside Cheryl Frances-Hoad's Vexilla Regis, commissioned by Opus Anglicanum.  Readings and poems vary from the religious and poetic through to the symbolic and horticultural.
