Cantores

Director: Mark Bellis
Accompanist: Peter Humphrey

'Cantores', the Colchester Institute Chamber Choir, is offering a very varied programme for their major end-of-year concert, in advance of their usual tour to St Edmundsbury Cathedral.

The concept this year is: "2015 Anniversaries", and the concert will feature a series of works which were first performed in 1415, 1515, etc. up to the present day, or works where the composers were born in those years.

Composers will include: John Sheppard, Gabrielli, John Nares, Schubert, Rachmaninov and George Dyson. There will be other works also, including Bach's Cantata 147 ('Jesu, Joy of Man's Desiring'), Bernstein's Chichester Psalms and excerpts from Gershwin's ever-popular musical, 'Porgy and Bess'.
