Britain's What's On Event Guide
Pinner Music Festival Choir & Orchestra
Closing the 60th Pinner Music Festival, the Festival Choir & Orchestra (led by Rebecca Boyle) will be conducted by Paul Jeanes. Returning soloists are soprano Emma Walshe, counter-tenor David Gould, and bass Matthew Hickman.
Purcell’s Ode for the Birthday of Queen Mary is a joyful start to the final concert of this year's PMF, with skilful interplay between the three soloists, choir & orchestra, bringing smiles to our faces. The PMF26 commission, Eternity by Marco Galvani sets three poems by Emily Dickinson for choir. Of this lovely work, Marco says: I have chosen these three poems for the incredible use of pacing and imagery. I wanted to evoke a world where the strings represent ideas of nature and beauty underneath the very literal statement of the text in the vocal parts, making a dream space where the meaning of the words can come through. Two extracts from Russell Pascoe's Secular Requiem give a glimpse of his special sound world and melodies that suit the texts. The beautiful and finely crafted Requiem by Gabriel Fauré takes us from awe and wonder, through a gamut of understated emotions – in tender gems exquisitely presented by the choir & two soloists, to a final serenity, In Paradisum.
