GREAT NEWS! The concert raised £1,000 for Turkish earthquake victims, and £800+ towards the church roof fund.
Ruth would say that every concert Chorus of Dissent performs is brimming with music we’re passionate about. And our spring concert is no different.
Part of the concert is dedicated to one of her favourite pieces of all time, Poulenc’s Stabat Mater. Compared to his other religious works, it’s rarely performed. She thinks this is unfair. It’s sad but sumptuous, and we can’t wait to perform it for you. We know you’ll love it.
Ruth has written a special arrangement of Ennio Morricone’s Gabriel’s Oboe from the film The Mission for solo oboe and cello, and choir and orchestra. The concert also features some marvellous music from Rodgers and Hammerstein’s musical Carousel.
Passion Music is on Saturday 1 April, 5.30pm at St Matthias Church, Wordsworth Road, London N16 8DD.
Conceived and directed by Ruth Whitehead. Solo soprano Clara Sanabras. With orchestra the Elastic Band.
