Immerse yourself in an evening of luminous reflection and transcendence, as Ex Urbe presents O Radiant Dawn. At the heart of the programme lies Tomás Luis de Victoria’s Missa Pro Defunctis a 6 (1605 Requiem) – a deeply meditative and timeless masterpiece.
Interwoven through the evening, solo piano works lead us through a journey from dawn to dusk, evoking shimmering light, shadowed moonlight, and the quiet mystery of the night. The journey is mirrored by the surrounding choral works which trace this arc: O Radiant Dawn by James MacMillan, Hymn to the Sun by Lili Boulanger, Stars by Ēriks Ešenvalds, and Sure on This Shining Night by Morten Lauridsen.
Join us for this exploration of light and time, where the majesty of the morning, the brilliance of day, and the security of night converge in an unforgettable meditation on life.
Two opportunities to experience this with us:
Saturday 10th May at 7 p.m. St Nicholas’ Church, Warwick
Sunday 11th May at 4 p.m. Dorridge Methodist Church

Happy New Year!
Following the wonderful “Bach to Bethlehem” concerts, which were much enjoyed by singers and audience alike, we are excited to be launching into rehearsals this weekend for our next concert outing in May.
“O Radiant Dawn” will bring together excerpts from Thomas Victoria “Missa pro Defunctis” interspersed with ethereal sounds reflecting “sun”, “stars” and “moonlight”.
Dates for your diary are 10th and 11th May and we look forward to seeing you either at St Nicholas Church, Warwick for the Saturday evening or at Dorridge Methodist Church for the Sunday afternoon.
