Thrill to the huge scale and intense drama of Ralph Vaughan Williams' 1936 cantata Dona Nobis Pacem ('Give us peace') – an impassioned plea for peace and understanding instead of war. Powerful and hopeful, this choral work's rich harmonisation and heartfelt Walt Whitman verse remain relevant today. Echoing those same sentiments of peace is Leonard Bernstein's exciting 1965 choral masterpiece, Chichester Psalms – a triumphant blend of Hebrew text, vibrant melodies and syncopated rhythms. The concert also features a true orchestral treat - Aaron Copland's invigorating 1944 ballet Appalachian Spring, evoking a joyful young American Pioneer couple as they prepare for their wedding day. Accompanying Worcester Festival Choral Society are acclaimed soloists Susanna Fairbairn (soprano) and Jolyon Loy (baritone) and the superb Meridian Sinfonia symphony orchestra, all under the baton of Worcester Cathedral's director of music Samuel Hudson. So come and enjoy an evening of music that will stay long in the memory, and the heart! Book tickets at www.wfcs.online or call the TicketSource Hotline: 0333 666 3366 |
