St Martin’s Voices and Artist in Residence Imogen Whitehead present a programme of music for choir and trumpet, featuring visions of heaven in James MacMillan’s timeless In splendoribus sanctorum and Jonathan Dove’s Oh this wondrous sea, contrasted with the more earthly delights of a rural English railway platform in Phillip Cooke’s Invocation. The programme also includes the first performance of a new work by Emily Hazrati.

Part of the Choral Discovery Concerts series, which invites audiences to discover lesser known, thought-provoking choral music in short concerts with St Martin’s Voices.

Aurora Orchestra & Abel Selaocoe - Germany & Belgium Tour

Tickets and more info: https://www.auroraorchestra.com/event/germany-abel-selaocoe/

Aurora Orchestra embarks on its longest tour yet, with a memorised performance of Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony and a collaboration with cellist and performer Abel Selaocoe.

Hailed by the German press as a “courageously creative orchestra”, Aurora’s multi-date German tour include debuts in Berlin and Frankfurt, as well as returning visits to Munich, Hamburg, Bielefeld and Cologne, before ending in Bruges’ Concertgebouw.

The South African cellist and composer Abel Selaocoe has an irrepressible energy and stage presence that has taken him from a township near Johannesburg to the top of the music world. Selaocoe crosses genre boundaries with ease in his cello concerto. He combines Western music from classical to soul with the sounds and traditions of his homeland – which include intense, throaty singing, which plays just as important a role in the concert as the cello. Bernhard Schimpelsberger joins on percussion.

In the second half of the concert, the Aurora Orchestra presents Beethoven’s Seventh Symphony, played from memory, a work that the composer himself described as “a sheer expression of joy, happiness and the affirmation of life”.
