Celebrating the 麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra and 麻豆社 Singers

A programme of Advent works by Cheryl Frances-Hoad and Arnold Bax given by the 麻豆社 Singers, followed by Wiren, Shostakovich, Copland and Prokofiev from the 麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra

An Advent concert of seasonal British choral works by Arnold Bax and Cheryl Frances-Hoad recorded in November. Glowing with textural interest and intensity, as though lit from within, Frances-Hoad鈥檚 choral writing looks to the musical past for music that is very much of the present. Her carols and motets take us from festive rejoicing, in the exuberant Gaude et Laetare, to rapt wonder in There is no Rose. Bax 鈥� Master of the King鈥檚 Music under George VI 鈥� also draws on the carol鈥檚 medieval origins in his graceful I Sing of A Maiden and This Worldes Joie

Followed by a concert given by the 麻豆社 Symphony Orchestra on tour last year in Spain: three twentieth century masterpieces from either side of the Iron Curtain conducted by Sakari Oramo
