ECO and VOCES8 - Light from Darkness by Beethoven, Mozart, Brahms, Coleridge-Taylor, Bridge, Frank, Da (2021/2021), Direttore d'orchestra James Sherlock

In a programme offering hope and inspiration which has been chosen and will be directed by our good friend James Sherlock, the ECO and VOCES8 will perform a number of sumptuous choral and orchestral works for your enjoyment. Framed by the soft strains of Beethoven’s Elegischer Gesang and his triumphant outpouring of renewal in the Choral Fantasy is the sunshine of Mozart’s beloved piano concerto K414 in A major, played by James Sherlock on his own Blüthner piano, that resides at the VOCES8 Centre. Music by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor and Frank Bridge gives way to the soulful tranquility of Brahms’ Geistliches Lied and Mozart’s Ave Verum Corpus. Revive your spirit and join the ECO in this special concert, showing that “The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.” (John 1:5)
