Our most ambitious project to date, After Byrd is a series of concerts in celebration of the composer's 400th anniversary. Reflecting on Byrd's Catholic recusancy and secrecy, our programmes take hidden music to hidden places, visiting unexpected venues across London as well as presenting music from convent composers alongside our new commissions.
