Choir feature
strongly in festival

They will be accompanied by the Sussex Concert Orchestra.

With a wide variety of musical styles in such a programme, Kenneth Roberts transforms BCS from an English choir singing works by Parry, Stanford and Holst, into an opera chorus for Verdi’s “Anvil Chorus”, “Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves”, and Wagner’s “Bridal Chorus”. A ‘taster’ of BCS’s autumn Mozart concert is included, with two excerpts from his “ Requiem”.

The choir is joined by soprano soloist, Claire Williamson for “Let the Bright Seraphim”, and Claire accompanies the choir in “Panis Angelicus” and American Spirituals in a new, lively arrangement by Kenneth Roberts.

This includes “Joshua Fought the Battle of Jericho”, “Swing Low Sweet Chariot” and “Down by the Riverside”, to bring the evening to a spectacular end.
