In commemoration of Charles Villiers Stanford's 100th anniversary of his death in 2024, and Samuel Coleridge-Taylor's 150th anniversary in 2025, join Apocryphonia as we take you on a journey through their songs of lovers, fighters, and drunks at the pub.

The concert's highlight is the Canadian Premiere of Stanford's 'Phaudrig Crohoore', an epic choral ballad written by the great poet Sheridan LeFanu about a 6 foot tall tough Irishman whose love was stolen by his rival.

Rounding out the concert are choruses from Ralph Vaughan Williams' Shakespearean opera 'Sir John in Love', and some naughty works by Henry Purcell!
