SATURDAY 25 APRIL 4-5PM St Mary’s Church, Todmorden ENTRY BY DONATION
This one-hour afternoon charity concert will explore a rich array of pieces that describe the power and beauty of nature, and of landscape in particular. It will include the lyrical pastoralism of both Elgar and Vaughan Williams alongside Clara Schumann’s serene depiction of bells echoing between the sea and heaven, as well as Josquin des Prez’ quirky portrayal of a romantically inclined singing cricket. The concert will also include Philip Glass’ powerful setting of words by Leonard Cohen: There Are Some Men alongside John Ireland’s majestic motet The Hills.
