| Comment | In Tune celebrates the festive season with a special concert in Broadcasting House's Radio Theatre. Sean Rafferty will be hosting a feast of live music, including the Choir of St John's College, Cambridge, with director Andrew Nethsingha. They're currently busy with concerts celebrating 500 years of St John's College, and they'll be singing some exquisite arrangements of traditional carols as well as newer Christmas fare.
Then there are two contrasting chamber groups: the Barbirolli Quartet bring a dynamic approach to the string quartet repertoire - these rising stars of chamber music have been described as "forthright, full-blooded musicians" by the Times; while Total Brass from the Royal Academy of Music will play a varied selection of pieces from Bach to Gershwin, as well as a virtuosic Fire Dance. And soprano Sophie Daneman will bring a sparkle to the evening with seasonal songs from around Europe. As well as the music, there will be festive arts reports from In Tune's Suzy Klein, and readings from classic Christmas literature, to guarantee a well-stuffed stocking of delights. |
