Saturday 15th June
Phoenix Chorale’s summer concert features a performance of the stunningly beautiful and haunting Magnificat by acclaimed Norwegian composer Kim André Arnesen, plus a sumptuous collection of sacred choral music by composers from the Renaissance through to the Romantic eras, including Allegri’s Miserere Mei and Fauré’s Cantique de Jean Racine. The Magnificat was Arnesen’s first large-scale work and its debut performance in 2010 in Nidaros Cathedral in Trondheim received overwhelming feedback. After the work was released by 2L in 2014, the album was later nominated for the GRAMMY Awards for ‘Best Surround Sound Album’. Don’t miss this sublime concert, with soprano soloist Ann Sutcliffe, a chamber ensemble, and Phoenix Chorale director of music, Marcus Alleyne.
