Music of England

On Sunday, March 3, at 3 PM the Georgia Tech Chamber Choir will present a concert of music from modern England. Three works will be featured; the haunting Mass in G Minor by Ralph Vaughan Williams (1921), Requiem by Herbert Howells (composed in 1932-33 but not released until 1980), and the Southern US premiere of Arion and the Dolphin, a 2016 composition by English composer Jonathan Dove. The first two works are unaccompanied. The latter work is a cantata for solo countertenor, children’s chorus, adult mixed chorus, two pianos, and percussion. The children’s chorus will be members of the Atlanta Young Singers Treble Concert Choir http://www.aysc.org/. The featured countertenor will be Nathan Medley (http://www.nathan-medley.com/Nathan_Medley_Countertenor/HOME.html) who has emerged in recent years as one of the leading younger-generation countertenors, with notable success internationally in concert and opera. He has sung at some of the major stages of the world and been a featured performer with many of the world’s leading orchestras and conductors. The concert, conducted by Jerry Ulrich, will be at St. John United Methodist Church in Atlanta (550 Mt Paran Rd NW, Atlanta, GA 30327) It is free and open to the public.
