Couple of concert broadcasts this week, starting with acapella choral music performed by the BBC Singers and aired to conincide with International Women's Day earlier this month. The programme highlights seven female contemporary composers from around the world, the vocal texts moving from just onomatopoeic sounds to poetry to liturgical settings. Everything sounds fantastic in the capable hands of the BBC Singers. I really hope this isn't the last post of them performing - latest news is that they're due to be axed by the BBC, which would be a great loss. For now, please enjoy this post of an incredible choral ensemble and the previous posts below.

Thank you
ReplyDeleteMany Thanks, Good luck to the BBC Singers.
ReplyDeleteIt is appalling and random how the BBC is making cuts to their Classical Music resources. There was a letter from the 2 directors of the BBC Singers, sent to the BBC board, which is withering in it's description of the disingenuous way the management operated.
