Huntingdonshire Philharmonic Choir, on this occasion without their full orchestra, are presenting a stunning Candlelight Concert on Saturday 5th May in St Mary’s Church, Godmanchester at 7.30pm, conducted by choirmaster Lee Dunleavy.
The programme features three different 'takes' on music dealing with Death, Resurrection and Eternal Life.
Plainsong - Alleluia : De Profundis
Requiem - John Rutter
Svyati - John Tavener
in paradisum - Dan Forrest (accompanied by a single violoncello)
Soprano , Jessica Smith
Chamber Orchestra and organ
Rutter and Tavener are direct contemporaries and have composed some of the best known works of the 20th Century, while Forrest is emerging as one of the most popular composers of this 21st Century.
This should be a spine-tingling event not to be missed!
