Programme Note
For the first time, Music Box presents a concert of choral music. We’ve teamed up with Laughton Village Choir to bring you a fascinating selection of settings of one of the best-known liturgical texts – the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God). Ending with the American composer Samuel Barber’s transcription from his famous Adagio for Strings, we’ll visit England, France, Italy and Germany along the way, with solos, duets and choral movements from across the centuries. The programme will include settings of the Agnus Dei from Verdi, Saint-Saens and Byrd.
Georgia Mae Ellis is a locally born mezzo and graduate of the National Opera Studio, where she was sponsored by Glyndebourne as a New Generation Artist.
Noa Lachman is a local soprano, who is also a director of Music Box Wealden.
Modulus is an acclaimed, locally based string quartet which specialises in contemporary
music and collaborates with many international composers.
