Tickets: £10 (concessions £5) includes a glass of wine.
London Concord Singers
conductor Malcolm Cottle
The centrepiece of this Easter concert is a grouping of 4 settings of the moving Biblical text, When David heard that Absalom was dead. Settings by three 16th century English composers, Thomas Weelkes, Thomas Tomkins and Robert Ramsey, use false relations and dense chromatic harmony to bring out the meaning of the text, whereas contemporary American composer Eric Whitacre's setting makes a profound use of silence.
Accompanying these pieces will be a rare sacred piece by the 19th century opera composer Giacomo Meyerbeer. German born but with a career spanning Italian and French opera houses, Meyerbeer's grand setting of Psalm91 in German for double choir was written late in his life for Berlin Cathedral.

New York Virtuoso Singers
Pre-concert talk with Mr. Corigliano and Mr. Adamo
In a unique celebration of two of America’s leading contemporary composers also featuring
Metropolitan Opera star Emily Pulley, The New York Virtuoso Singers present a program including
many of the chamber choral works of John Corigliano and a representative sampling of Mark
Adamo's choral music. Pulitzer Prize-winning Mr. Corigliano continues to add to one of the richest,
most unusual, and most widely celebrated bodies of work any composer has created over the last
forty years. Composer-librettist Mr. Adamo, acclaimed by critic Alex Ross as “one of the best opera
composers of the moment,” has lately ventured into choral work with striking assurance.
