Opus 16 program features:
The centerpiece of this summer's concert is Allan's latest commissioned composition, a thirty-minute multi-media work in three movements for chorus, orchestra and visuals entitled "Touch." Inspired by paintings of renowned Chinese Christian artist He Qi, Allan has selected lyrics based on Scripture, Tao Te Ching, and Confucius.
Consort also commemorates the 200th anniversary of Franz Joseph Haydn's death by singing his "Te Deum in C."
Rounding out the concert will be the choral gems, "The Seal Lullaby" by Whitacre, "I Carry Your Heart with Me" by Dickau, and "So, I'll Sing with My Voice" by Argento as well as some Vaughn Williams, Johnson and Gibbs. ALLAN
