Wednesday 14 January 2009
8.00PM ST. JOHN’S CHURCH, PEMBROKE

Daring and adventurous musical programming is the hallmark of this illustrious choir from Oxford, England. Unique in the fact that it is both Cathedral and College choir, the intimate acoustic of its musical home, Oxford’s 12th century Cathedral, provides a natural setting for its early sacred music, yet the choir is equally renowned for the rhythm and vigour of contemporary idioms, as it performs the works of modern composers such as Howard Goodall.

It is its relationship with Goodall that has led to the choir singing his TV and film themes for Mr. Bean and The Vicar of Dibley. In another association with the film world, Christ Church was the setting for some of the filming for the Harry Potter film series. The first programme, to be held at the Ruth Seaton James Centre, will include an exciting collaboration with the Bermuda Institute choir. The second will be a more traditional concert sung in St. John’s Church.

This performance made possible by the kind patronage of
Henry and Jan Keeling
