The Vicars Choral and Choral Scholars of York Minster offer an evening of music inspired by the 100th anniversary of the rededication of the Five Sisters Window.

The concert will celebrate the voices of the professional singers who complete the Choir of York Minster, as well as highlighting diverse and varied compositions from across the centuries. Music will draw on themes of light, life and femininity, and has been selected by the choir to complement the unique setting of the medieval Minster.
