Keswick Hall Choir – Norwich, now in its 40th anniversary season, enjoys an excellent reputation for its performances of both renaissance and contemporary music. Some of this repertoire is represented on the choir’s most recent CD, The Shining Road, recorded in Norwich Cathedral and available by mail order.
The choir continues the 2009-2010 season at Norwich Cathedral on 27 February 2010 for a grand celebration of the 400th anniversary of Monteverdi’s Vespers of 1610. The choir is once again joined by The Brook Street Band, playing on period instruments and expanded for this performance by the cornets and sackbuts of QuintEssential.
On 24 April 2010 the choir makes its debut, exploring for the first time the wonderfully-clear acoustic of St Peter Mancroft Church in Norwich. The programme includes beautiful favourites such as Barber’s Agnus Dei and Allegri’s Miserere, lesser-known but equally expressive works by contemporary American composers Morten Lauridsen and Eric Whitacre and three contrasting settings of When David Heard.
More details of these three concerts will follow shortly in the season’s brochure available here.
