NCS: Over Hill, Over Dale

Graham Walker, music director

 

For their final concert of the season, New Cambridge Singers present an eclectic mix of secular music. Settings of Shakespeare by Vaughan Williams, Mäntejärvi and Tavener offer a variety of moods and themes with unusual and imaginative choral writing. The remarkable Romancero Gitano by CastelnuovoTedesco, a collection of Spanish folksongs for choir and guitar, will be performed alongside a newly commissioned work by Tim Watts, perhaps best known for his searingly powerful opera Kepler’s Trial.
