Marking a century since the death of Florence Nightingale, this act of worship explores the legacy of one of the most influential medics of all time.

Members of the Florence Nightingale School Choir join forces with the Guy's and St Thomas' Staff Choir in the chapel of St Thomas' Hospital, London where the design of the ward environment was influenced by Florence Nightingale. The preacher is The Revd Tom Keighley, a Nightingale Nurse and Fellow of the Nightingale Foundation. The service is led by The Revd Mia Hilborn, Hospitaller at Guy's and St Thomas' Hospital, London.

‘Songs to Die For’: the Sumptuous World of Latin American Art Song
Opera. Classical. Folk. Latin. What makes Latin American 'art' music special is its ability to transcend the traditional barriers between 'classical' and 'popular' and nowhere is this more patent than in its 'art' songs, which blend the two into something utterly irresistible. Few classically-trained singers can render these with as much versatility and authenticity as Maya Sapone, whose technical and stylistic dynamicism are truly amazing. 'Songs to Die for' is a new project in collaboration with leading Iberian specialist pianist Helen Glaisher-Hernández, which seeks to explore the liminal possibilities between the stifling paramaters of 'high' and 'low' art, where intellect meets passion.
Programme: Claudio Santoro "Love Songs", Carlos Guastavino "Flores Argentinas", Heitor Villa-Lobos "Forest of the Amazon"
