鈥淔rom the earth another song shall rise / to meet your own in Heaven鈥檚 long delight鈥�.
On the surface, Herbert Howells was the most English of composers; the Gloucestershire lad whose choral psalms and anthems have become part of the very fabric of British choral life. But still waters run deep, and tonight the 麻豆社 Singers join conductor Nicholas Chalmers, organist Ashley Grote and presenter Ed Balls to uncover the creative personality behind that serene exterior.
An evening of words and music revealing the full depth, power and playfulness of this much-loved 鈥� but still undervalued 鈥� British genius.
This is the first of two concerts celebrating Herbert Howells. Tonight we will be performing at Norwich Cathedral.
