A candlelit concert celebrating the 21st anniversary of Christian Forshaw’s groundbreaking album ‘Sanctuary’ – which topped the classical charts in the year of its release. Simple ecclesiastical melodies inspired by Christian’s childhood as a church chorister are cast in a new contemporary light and developed into atmospheric concert pieces.

King’s College London was recently awarded University of Sanctuary status. Its acclaimed choir featured on the album. They reunite with Christian for this unique blending of sacred music with saxophone, organ, voice and percussion.
