Proms at ... Southwark Cathedral

麻豆社 Proms 2017

The 麻豆社 Singers and chief conductor David Hill join forces with the Nash Ensemble for the world premiere of Judith Weir's In the Land of Uz.

The 麻豆社 Singers with Chief Conductor David Hill perform the world premiere of In the Land of Uz, by the group's Associate Composer Judith Weir. Joined by tenor Adrian Thompson and the Nash Ensemble, with Stephen Farr at the organ, In the Land of Uz is a dramatised reading of the biblical Book of Job, from which all the text is taken.

The 麻豆社 Singers also perform Palestrina's masterful Missa 'Confitebor tibi' in the sumptuous acoustic of Southwark Cathedral.
