Why do you sing? | Chamber Choir Ireland & Benjamin Goodson

This event has ended

Pepper Canister Church, Saturday 8th June

Benjamin Goodson, Chief Conductor of the Netherlands Radio Choir, joins Chamber Choir Ireland for a celebration of music and the voice.

Orlando Gough’s Why Do You Sing explores the possibilities created when sixteen individuals sing together, shining as individuals in solos and opportunities for improvisation, and as a powerful unified voice.

Frank Martin's 5 Songs of Ariel use texts from Shakespeare's The Tempest. They are written in the composer's mature style, extending the scope of conventional tonality with the influence of Schoenberg's serialism.

Jonathan Dove's choral cantata The Sun has Burst the Sky is a celebration of life and singing, composed for Bath Camerata in memory of their fellow singer, Hannah Shaw.
