.We throw new light on the familiar in a programme curated by artist and writer Edmund de Waal, around the theme of Psalms.
It is difficult to imagine a more uplifting pairing of sacred music than the Magnificat and Chichester Psalms, pieces that show Bach and Bernstein at their most big- hearted, energetic and affirmative. The programme is enhanced by a new work from American Nico Muhly, whose approachable, emotionally- direct choral music is forged in a love of the Anglican sacred music traditions. Hebrew and Christian, Lutheran Germany and Anglo Saxon (via the noise and haste of New York City), these psalms and prayers celebrate the Divine with dancing feet in an effervescent spiritual triptych.
