Armonico Consort: JS Bach Mass in B Minor
Armonico Consort here turn their attention to JS Bach’s Mass in B Minor - a work which, in a sense, is a homage to the composer’s own music....
Celebrating a decade of musical excellence and diversity.
“Chineke! is not only an exciting idea but a profoundly necessary one,” said Sir Simon Rattle a handful of years ago, in talking about the emergence of Europe’s first orchestra to feature a majority of black and minority ethnic musicians. “It’s the kind of idea which will deepen and enrich classical music in the UK for generations. What a thrilling prospect!”
Chineke! have certainly lived up to Sir Simon’s expectations since making their debut, and are here celebrating a decade of musical excellence. They are joined for the occasion by soloists Sheku Kaneh-Mason, his sister Isata, and Tai Murray.
Featured works include Coleridge-Taylor’s adventurous and poetic Ballade In A Minor and William Dawson’s long-overlooked Negro Folk Symphony. The conductor for the evening is Roderick Cox.
