Event Details
Sherborne Abbey Choir, the resident choir of sixteen boy choristers and twelve adult singers in rural Dorset’s magnificent Saxon and Benedictine Abbey, presents a programme of music by Victoria, Byrd, Palestrina, Bairstow, Wood and Stanford at Hatfield House.
Come to hear gloriously rich polyphonic a cappella music sung by one of the UK’s finest boys and adults’ choirs. Some fragments of plainchant from the Sherborne Missal (an early 15th-century illuminated manuscript missal made for use in Sherborne Abbey sometime between 1385 and 1415) surround Victoria’s sumptuous Missa O Quam Gloriosum and, in their 500th anniversary years, music by John Blitheman and Giovanni da Palestrina. Contemporary church music is represented through music by the choir’s director James Henderson alongside twentieth century favourites such as Ye choirs of new Jerusalem by Stanford.

This exhibition is being held in Sherborne Abbey in conjunction with SherborneTown Council.
Gaia is a touring artwork by UK artist, Luke Jerram.
Measuring 7 metres in diameter and created from 120dpi detailed NASA imagery of the Earth’s surface* the artwork provides the opportunity to see our planet, floating in three dimensions. The installation aims to create a sense of the Overview Effect, which was first described by author Frank White in 1987. Common features of the experience for astronauts are a feeling of awe for the planet, a profound understanding of the interconnection of all life, and a renewed sense of responsibility for taking care of the environment. When presented indoors, the Earth artwork slowly revolves. A specially made surround sound composition by BAFTA award winning Composer Dan Jones is played alongside the sculpture. In Greek Mythology, Gaia is the personification of the Earth.
