Programme Note
A concert to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the cathedral’s magnificent and newly-restored TC Lewis organ.
The programme will include a number of organ solos and duets as well as the choral works listed, including the world premiere of for music like the sea by Sheffield-based Cassie White, who won second place in the Stella Jockel Young Composer Competition organised by the Chorus.
It features Lili Boulanger’s wonderful Hymne au Soleil and will culminate in a performance of the rarely-performed Messe Solonnelle by Jean Langlais, a marvellous work for choir and two organs – a real treat for lovers of organ music and majestic choral works alike!
Chorus Music Director Darius Battiwalla will conduct the choir and, as befits a concert celebrating this wonderful instrument, there will be two organists – Neil Taylor and James Mitchell.
