The choir's musical director, Emma Hornby, has been studying Aemilian alongside art historians, historians, liturgists and musicologists, and the concert will be illustrated with information about medieval veneration of this saint, especially at San Millán de la Cogolla, the monastery he founded in the sixth century.
