A BEACON OF LIGHT
Mediaeval Baebes 2025 Winter Tour
18th December @ 7:30 pm - 9:30 pm
£15 – £32.50One of Europe’s most successful female-led early music and folk ensembles will captivate listeners with rich, ethereal harmonies and a variety of ancient and forgotten languages.
The renowned classical chart-topping choir was founded in 1996 by Katharine Blake and has garnered success with 10 albums, an Ivor Novella Award for ‘The Virgin Queen’, two Emmy nominations, and a Royal Television Society award for the ‘Victoria’ theme. Their haunting vocals have graced venues worldwide, from castles to Glastonbury, and they’ve performed with Jools Holland at the Royal Albert Hall and many more.
Founding member Katharine Blake’s choral compositions, drawing from medieval and romantic texts, reinvent traditional songs in ancient languages. The Baebes’ repertoire delves into mythological and philosophical themes, offering a captivating blend of ethereal beauty and talent.
Please note:
- Doors open at 7pm and the concert will begin at 7:30pm.
- An external organisation hosts this concert, and booking fees may apply.
- Ticket and access queries should be directed via the Mediaeval Baebes website.
As a charity which receives limited funding from the Church and Government, Newcastle Cathedral is grateful to organisations that hire the building for their events.
