This relaxed and varied concert celebrates the joy of choral singing and has become a favourite of choir and audience alike. This year’s lively program features the popular Misa Criolla by the Argentine composer Ariel Ramírez that combines the Spanish language with Argentine and Latin dance rhythms. This mass is contrasted with Schubert’s triumphant Mirjams Siegesgesang (Song of Victory), a choral ballad on the Israelites’ exodus from Egypt; also choral works by Brahms and Schumann, both based on the central European folk tradition.
Relax, listen and enjoy exquisite music – and be prepared to tap your feet!

PROGRAM
Ramírez : Misa Criolla
Schubert : Mirjams Siegesgesang (Song of Victory)
Brahms
Schumann
