Why does Music have such a hold over us?

This article by Susan Rogers explores how “The music we love is functional…Your music-loving brain is shaped by the sounds of your environment.”

  • We look forward to seeing you at St. Martin’s Church in Sherwood for ‘A Multitude of Voices’ on Saturday 11th March at 7.30pm, featuring Nottingham Chamber Singers. Dive into the rich, exquisite and relatively under-represented canon of choral works by female composers. The concert, in the same week as International Women’s Day, will celebrate 900 years of Passiontide themed motets, both reflective and uplifting from the 11th Century Abbess and Polymath Hildegard von Bingen through to the emerging and talented Kerensa Briggs (b.1991). The second half will see a beautiful performance of Son of God Mass by James Whitbourn. John Barker saxophone. Henry Parkes organ. Rachel Parkes conductor.
