Grace & Light
Project type
Conert
Date
6th May 2023
Location
Adderbury, Oxfordshire
Our inaugural concert in Adderbury, Oxfordshire, May '23. Comparing treatments of Grace, forgiveness, light and love with pieces through the ages. Back to back Allegri and MacMillan miserere's, were followed by Tallis, Rachmaninoff and Holst Nunc Dimittis settings. Joyful settings of Byrd and Gibbons were followed by lower voices on Vaughan Williams' Turtle Dove and Sarah Quartel's upper voices on Lux Aeterna. Whitacre and Gjeilo pieces rounded off the contemporary section with a rousing rendition of big Mac's Radiant Dawn.
A superb venue and very welcoming audience enjoyed a relaxed evening with complementary drinks before, and after the singing. A packed house and standing ovation is not to be taken for granted these days. The bar has been set high.
