COUPERIN’S LEÇONS DE TÉNÈBRE

21 February 2026, 18.00 - 19.00

LEÇONS DE TÉNÈBRE

 

French Baroque master Francois Couperin’s Trois Leçons de Ténèbres are not only among the finest setting of the texts for the office of Tenebrae, but some of the most refined, intimate, and powerful vocal music ever written.  Scored for sopranos and organ, they offer a focal point for an evening of reflection amidst organ improvisation, plainchant, and candlelight, reflecting on the destruction of Jerusalem and pleading for salvation.

 

Luke Mitchell, organ and director
