Celebrating Judith Weir

The 麻豆社 Singers, conducted by their principal guest conductor Owain Park, perform a programme of choral music to celebrate Judith Weir's 70th birthday year.

In her 70th birthday year, Judith Weir鈥檚 colourful Missa del Cid is the crowning work of this 麻豆社 Singers鈥� concert, a piece which brings to life the dramatic world of the legendary war lord Rodrigo D铆az de Vivar, re-named by Hollywood as El Cid. D铆az de Vivar鈥檚 context is reflected in the jewel-like music of 笔茅谤辞迟颈苍, alongside choral works by Renaissance Spanish giants, Victoria and Guerrero. As part of the Kings Place 'Scotland Unwrapped' season, the programme contains gems by Weir鈥檚 fellow Scots composers, Sir James Macmillan and Electra Perivolaris.

Recorded on 9th February 2024 at Kings Place, London, and presented by Ian Skelly.
