Super Flumina

 Paragon Singers presents ‘Super Flumina’, a programme featuring music inspired by rivers across the world, from the Euphrates to the Missouri. Expect gorgeous double choir polyphony by Philippe de Monte and Victoria, one of the famous Michael Tippett spirituals from ‘Child of our time’, pieces by Poulenc, Gorecki, Palestrina and James Erb’s stunning arrangement of the American folk song ‘Shenandoah’.

Plus a world premiere from award-winning composer John Barber, commissioned by Paragon Singers and setting an Emily Dickson poem. John studied with Harrison Birtwistle and is equally at home composing for the Royal Opera House, Glyndebourne and The Sixteen. Join us in the magnificent setting of St. John’s Church on South Parade for an unforgettable evening of music-making.
