Spring Awakening

The amazing music of Howells, Britten and Bax

Part of the Concordia Chamber Choir 2017 Cycle

Add to my Calendar 18-03-2017 19:30 18-03-2017 21:30 36 Spring Awakening As the grey days of winter recede, the Concordia Chamber Choir stretches its musical muscles with a concert of ground-breaking 20th century choral works.  In an eclectic programme, three remarkable composers are featured:  Herbert Howells, Benjamin Britten and Arnold Bax. Some pieces will be familiar like Britten's 'Rejoice In The Lamb', a joyous celebration of how the different creatures of this world worship the Lord. Others are arguably less-known, such as Howells' Take Him Earth For Cherishing' composed in commemoration of President Kennedy and, perhaps most extraordinary of all, Howells' Requiem, a searingly moving, intensely personal piece written in the 1930s but not performed till half a century later. So shake off those post-Christmas cobwebs, come out of hibernation and join us for another memorable evening with one of south London's most prestigious and talented choirs. We look forward to seeing you. All Saints Church, London DD/MM/YYYY
