Previous Concert Programmes

Cadenza performs several concerts throughout the year.  On this page, you’ll find the programme for every concert we’ve performed in the past few years.  You can find a full list of all the concerts we’ve performed since 2009 here.

Note that only choral pieces performed by Cadenza are listed in full here.  For some concerts, we have incorporated readings to frame each set of pieces.  For others, we’ve invited guest artists to perform.  Where this is the case we’ve noted where in the programme they occur.
