This eagerly anticipated return collaboration with the exceptional vocalists of Fiore Chamber (all young artistis with a strong ABCI connection) focusses on the captivating choral music of Benjamin Britten. Featuring some of Britten's greatest works with organ including 'Rejoice in the Lamb' and the 'Missa Brevis' for treble voices, this performance will also include two of the magnificent Canticles, plus the composer's spellbinding 'Hymn to the Virgin', written when he was only 16 years of age. An exciting choral event in this significant Britten anniversary year.
