We are delighted to return to the BBC Proms with Tallis's magnificent Spem in alium.

Tallis’s extraordinary Spem in alium – the magnificent 40-voice motet that’s one of the one of the great landmarks of polyphony – forms the dazzling centrepiece of our late-night meditation in the Royal Albert Hall. Around this we weave together music from the medieval to the contemporary, with sublime and tranquil works from John Sheppard, John Tavener and Sir James MacMillan.
