Bristol’s accomplished chamber choir Exultate Singers makes its first visit to Glastonbury for this very special early evening concert of music of sacred and secular music from across the ages.
Including intimate and reflective motets along with large-scale choral pieces, expertly and exquisitely sung, the concert will inspire and entertain. Craig Ogden and Gary Ryan, two charismatic virtuosi of the guitar, team up with the choir for a performance of Live with me and be my love by Nigel Hess and an exhilarating Suite of folk songs for choir and two guitars. Songs from the Congo, Sweden, England, Spain and America are given a contemporary twist with virtuosic interplay between the guitars weaving in and out of the choir textures.
Come and enjoy some ravishing choral music and entertaining guitar duets in an atmospheric setting and the opportunity to meet the performers in the interval over a glass of wine.
Musick for a while
The Path Towards the Goldberg Variations
The word baroque is derived from the Portuguese, baroco, meaning ‘a pearl of irregular or bulbous shape’. I wanted, in this programme to explore 150 years of music from that era, a period more diverse than any other apart from our own. I’ve ignored towering figures such as Handel, Vivaldi and Telemann and chosen instead to follow an erratic path across Europe and the British Isles towards one of the music’s great masterpiece, Bach’s Goldberg Variations.
