Programme Note
What happens when you fuse jazz with a choral setting of the mass? Will Todd’s Mass in Blue has firmly establishes itself as one of the 21st century’s most engagingly refreshing takes on the traditional religious texts. Paired with jazz pianist George Shearing’s highly inventive Songs and Sonnets, and a selection of Spirituals, this promises to be a choral concert with a difference.
