Add to my Calendar 07-07-2018 19:30 07-07-2018 21:30 36 Derwent Singers: Golden Jubilee Season Celebration Concert You really won’t want to miss this exciting concert! The Derwent Singers have been on top form this season – their 50th. From Howells’ sumptuous and elegiac Requiem in St Mary’s in November to varied highlights from the first 50 years at Breadsall in March – next the Derwents are off On Tour to Ely Cathedral, Cambridge and historic Fotheringhay at Spring Bank Holiday. But their main Golden Jubilee Celebration Concert is at the Cathedral here in Derby on 7 July. A feast of exciting music from the baroque, with period instruments – strings led by Nicolette Moonen, and cornetti-sackbut group The Six. Featuring Handel’s brilliant, fierce and dramatic Dixit Dominus, J S Bach’s joyous virtuoso double-choir motet Singet dem Herrn – and the unknown quantity, music from the Latin-American Baroque. Only recently come to light this vibrant colourful music, rhythmic and dance-like, with instruments and percussion, sounds remarkably modern. The four pieces, by Araujo, Padilla, Salazar and Zespedes, are guaranteed to send you dancing out of the Cathedral! Derby Cathedral, Derby DD/MM/YYYY
