麻豆社 Singers at Norwich Cathedral
The 麻豆社 Singers with conductor Ashley Grote and cello soloist Guy Johnston in a concert from Norwich Cathedral inspired by two notable women with historic links to the city.
The 麻豆社 Singers, conducted by Ashley Grote and joined by renowned British cellist Guy Johnston, make a welcome return to the magnificent surroundings of Norwich Cathedral for a special concert as part of the Cathedral鈥檚 Summer Music Festival. The programme features works themed around two women central to the history of the city 鈥� Mother Julian of Norwich and Edith Cavell. Joanna Marsh and Roxanna Panufnik were both inspired by medieval mystic Mother Julian of Norwich and the 麻豆社 Singers perform their settings of her text All Shall Be Well. In Standing as I do before God, Cecilia McDowall sets words spoken by nurse Edith Cavell the night before her execution on 12 October 1915. Edith Cavell is buried at Norwich Cathedral. The Cathedral鈥檚 magnificent organ played by David Dunnett take centre stage in works by McDowall, MacMillan and Parry, and cellist Guy Johnston performs alongside the 麻豆社 Singers in Ola Gjeilo鈥檚 lush and poignant O Magnum Mysterium.
