The OU Choir celebrates the birthdays of composers Sir John Rutter and Bob Chilcott
The OU Choir celebrates the birthdays of composers Sir John Rutter and Bob Chilcott in a free concert at 1pm on Thursday 3rd July on the Walton Hall campus. Marking the 80th birthday of Sir John Rutter and the 70th birthday of Bob Chilcott, the concert includes Feel the Spirit, Rutter's arrangement of seven spirituals and an instrumental piece by Rutter, Two Blessings for harp and chamber orchestra, a pair of meditations on two of Rutter’s own choral compositions.  Chilcott's Ophelia, Caliban and Miranda is a jazzy setting of three poems by Charles Bennett which takes a contemporary and witty look at three Shakespeare characters. The piece is accompanied by piano with saxophone, bass and drums. The Choir will be accompanied by the Cantoribus Ensemble, together with saxophonist Paul Taverner, harpist Lizzie Peacock, and mezzo soprano Jo Churcher. The concert will be conducted by Dennis Pim. Admission to the concert is free and open to all.
