Pilgrims’ progresses

Odyssey, journey, pilgrimage… whatever you to call it, there seems to be a special appeal to a tour or project that looks. On Christmas Day 1999 they began their Bach Cantata Pilgrimage, performing all of the composer’s surviving church cantatas in one year. Also in 2000, and its conductor Harry Christophers embarked on their first Choral Pilgrimage. The focus wasn’t a single composer, but sacred music brought to the UK’s cathedrals and abbeys.
