For their second featured concert in the Festival, the 麻豆社 Singers bring us an eclectic mix of choral music for lunchtime remembering two eminent British composers and celebrating the birthday of a third.
Tavener鈥檚 iconic music is intense and meditative with the Song for Athene reaching millions when it was performed at the funeral of Princess Diana. Richard Rodney Bennett鈥檚 arrangement reveals the jazzier side of this composer鈥檚 wildly talented personality and Peter Maxwell Davies鈥� haunting and evocative settings sit alongside the extraordinary theatricality of the Dane, N酶rg氓rd.
