This Sunday, The Elysian Singers, will perform in concert at St Augustine’s Church, Victoria, as part of Gaulitana: A Festival of Music. They have been defined by Sir John Tavener as, “one of the best chamber choirs he ever heard.”
This London-based choir boasts an impressive cv, appearing at the Wigmore Hall with Tasmin Little and Julian Lloyd Webber, and participated in a fiftieth Birthday concert for HRH The Prince of Wales at Windsor Castle alongside Mstislav Rostropovich and the English Chamber Orchestra.
They will perform a varied programme, such as English works by Parry, Bairstow and Harris together with other well-known choral pieces, including the magnificent Bogoroditse Devo by Rachmaninov.
The concert will also include the world premiere of Colin Attard’s The Lord is My Shepherd, scored for SSATB and Solo Tenor.
The concert, which is free of charge, starts at 6.30pm.
