Music for a Great City: Cries of London - Outcry Ensemble @St John Smith’s Square
Tenor soloist in Coleridge Taylor’s Feast of Haiawatha.
The Outcry Ensemble continue our ‘Music for a Great City’ series exploring the essence of a city as portrayed through its music, its history, its people and their perpetual sense of spirit through a rich variety of pieces,
The third concert in the series opens with Gibbons’ earthy Cries of London depicting the sometimes vividly raucous street vendors of his time. Next follows Vaughan Williams’ lyrical Serenade to Music, whose 16 soloists pay homage through Shakespeare’s text to the power and beauty of music. We continue to honour London composer Stephen Dodgson’s centenary with his Hymn to Harmony for upper-voice choir, which sets William Congreve’s text likewise celebrating music (‘The secret force of tuneful Sound’) and honouring its patron saint, Cecilia. The concert ends in a spirit of festivity captured by an under-celebrated British Black composer, Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, in his Feast of Hiawatha.
Join conductor James Henshaw for an enlightening pre-concert talk at 5.30pm, free for all ticket holders.
Don’t miss this extraordinary concert that captures the spirit of the city through a dynamic blend of orchestral and choral masterpieces.
