Canticles of Light with The Elgar Chorale of Worcester

The Elgar Chorale of Worcester will be performing their programme of thought-provoking music centred around the theme of light. This is the first of two Malvern concerts this season before they celebrate their 40th Anniversary in 2020 with a performance in the summer in Worcester's Three Choirs Festival at Pershore Abbey with baritone Roderick Williams.

Holy Trinity Church, Malvern Link, a beautiful Grade II listed building, is an apt setting for the concert. Morten Lauridsen’s Lux aeterna’s central movement O nata lux is regularly featured on Classic FM and has become a listeners’ favourite; John Rutter’s ‘Hymn to the Creator of Light’ and Bob Chilcott’s eponymous Canticles of Light are featured along with Edward Elgar’s ‘With Proud Thanksgiving’, ‘They are at rest’ and ‘O salutaris hostia’ . The Chorale will be joined by Great Malvern Priory Junior Choir and this will be a concert to relish sung by a fine choir and directed by Piers Maxim, the Director of Music at Great Malvern Priory.
