Hark to those sounds! - Carice Singers perform Elgar and Coleridge-Taylor
Part of the Elgar Festival 2022
Add to my Calendar 04-06-2022 15:00 04-06-2022 17:00 36 Hark to those sounds! - Carice Singers perform Elgar and Coleridge-Taylor Under their director George Parris, The Carice Singers are becoming well-known for superb performances and imaginative programmes. In their Elgar Festival debut they explore the dramatic part-songs of Samuel Coleridge-Taylor alongside those by Elgar, who described Coleridge-Taylor as “far away the cleverest fellow going amongst the young men”. Comparing and performing these choral songs side-by-side shows a predilection from both composers for landscapes, seascapes, ghosts and legends, revealing along the way some uncanny reflections and many innovations in choral writing.
