We are very proud to announce our next project will be the rarely performed E flat major 'Magnificat' by J.S. Bach. An earlier version of the more famous D major 'Magnificat', this piece includes wonderful arias and uplifting choruses that set a triumphant tone on the text of Mary's song.
The programme also includes 'Herz und Mund und Tat und Leben', featuring the chorale 'Jesus bleibet meine Freude' ('Jesu joy of man's desiring'), Corelli's 'Christmas' concerto, and the Midlands premiere of 'The Four Neomartys of Rethymnon' by Nicholas Samuel.
The concert will be conducted by Guest Conductor David Fisher, and will take place at the beautiful St Mary de Castro, Leicester on December 11th at 19:30.
