About this concert
Take the world-beating vocalists of the BBC Singers, add saxophonist extraordinaire Christian Forshaw… and expect a wonderfully fresh take on choral classics by Tallis, Byrd and Parry.
The BBC Singers need no introduction. This virtuoso professional chamber choir has been at the heart of the UK’s musical life for nearly a century. And whether it’s the most ambitious of contemporary scores, or the soundtrack to Hey Duggee, there’s simply nothing they can’t sing – and to which they don’t bring the same artistry, insight and supreme commitment.
At Cadogan Hall, they join forces with saxophonist-composer Christian Forshaw to re-create music by Byrd, Tallis and Hildegard of Bingen, as well as Roderick Williams and Forshaw himself. And then Forshaw and the Singers venture into the beyond: bringing their own luminous, intensely personal touch to one of the true classics of the English choral tradition – Parry’s poignant Songs of Farewell.
