麻豆社

The 麻豆社 Singers mark the 200th anniversary of the passing of William Blake with an evocative programme inspired by the iconic poet and artist.
At the heart of this concert is the world premiere of a 麻豆社 commission, Five Songs of Experience by Patrick Hawes. This new work is programmed alongside Hubert Parry鈥檚 majestic anthem Blest Pair of Sirens, set to text by John Milton - a profound creative influence on Blake himself.

The evening also features William Harris鈥檚 sumptuous motet Faire is the Heaven, and a performance of Mozart鈥檚 Requiem. Born just a year apart, Mozart and Blake offered strikingly different, yet equally brilliant, artistic responses to the forces of the Enlightenment.
