Britain's What's On Event Guide
Mostly British, Mostly Sacred ...
Concert by The Canterbury Singers, featuring a selection mostly of single movement sacred choral works by mostly British composers: spot the Irish, Estonian and Canadian if you can!
The programme ranges from famous motets and anthems by Charles Villiers Stanford, Arvo Pärt, William Byrd and Herbert Howells to less familiar pieces by Imogen Holst, Eleanor Daley, Sarah MacDonald, Janet Wheeler and Gail Randall.
As a bonus, director Jamie Rogers will in between groups of choral works perform two piano pieces, Peter Maxwell Davies' famous protest against uranium mining Farewell to Stromness and the slow movement of Beethoven's Sonata Opus 13, known as the Pathetique.
