Description
Ely Consort perform: Rutter: Magnificat & Birthday Madrigals & Gershwin: Highlights from "Porgy & Bess" 

After last summer's memorable performance of John Rutter's Gloria, we now return to Sutton again this summer, during their 'Feast Week', to perform more music by England's most popular living choral composer. In the first half the choir will sing his jubilant setting of the Magnificat; the second half will feature his Birthday Madrigals, a modern and jazzy setting of some familiar words. The concert will conclude with the music of Gershwin - excerpts from his Opera Porgy and Bess.
