The concert is given by The Cornerstone Chamber Choir, Orchestra and Soloists, together with Cornerstone Young Voices, under the direction of Musical Director Adrian Boynton. Soloists include award-winning soprano Sumei Bao-Smith, leading UK flautist Abigail Burrows and distinguished harpsichordist/pianist Craig Greene.
The programme showcases some of the composer's finest music including 'Suite Antique', a delightful work for solo flute, harpsichord and strings, the beautiful and heartfelt 'Mass of the Children', featuring young voices, and a thrilling and joyful setting of Magnificat, arguably the composer's greatest work. The programme also includes a short work written to celebrate the work of the Oxford Vaccines Team during the pandemic.
