All Shall be Well

At the turn of the 15th century the first ever female author in the English language, Julian of Norwich, wrote "All shall be well, all shall be well and all manner of thing shall be well.” Writing during a time of plague, and following her own near-death experience from disease, Julian’s phrase echoes through the centuries as we also face one of the most devastating medical emergencies of our time.

The award-winning ORA Singers and BBC Radio 4 presenter Zeb Soanes present a selection of stunning choral music and readings from Julian's time to ours, celebrating the power of the human spirit, and human art, in the face of life's adversities. The ORA Singers are joined during the programme by VOCES8, in celebration of Julian's hope and belief that 'all shall be well'.
