The concert will feature several glorious choral works from the late 16th century, including the much loved Requiem by the Spanish composer Tomas Luis de Victoria (1548-1611). Although mainly known as an “early music choir” Brighton Consort will also be including a UK first performance of three pieces based on the music of Victoria by the contemporary Australian composer Joseph Twist. His work crosses genres ranging from ancient vocal music, opera and contemporary orchestral music to jazz, cabaret and film music.
