London Choral Sinfonia - Sword in the Soul

Tavener | Mother and Child

Francis Grier | Sword in the Soul

The London Choral Sinfonia

Brian O'Kane CELLO

James Orford ORGAN

Michael Waldron CONDUCTOR

The London Choral Sinfonia make their first appearance in the Easter Festival with an evening of contemplation for Good Friday.

Commissioned by the BBC in 1991 for a Radio 4 Good Friday premiere, Francis Grier's 'Sword in the Soul; a meditation for Good Friday', is a modern take on the Passiontide story, with narrated texts, written by former Archbishop of Canterbury, Rowan Williams. The work gives a more human telling of this well-known story, alongside seven rich pieces of expressive music performed by the Choir of the LCS with organist James Orford and cello soloist Brian O'Kane.

The LCS also performs 'Mother and Child' by Sir John Tavener, a growing, powerful piece of choral writing also featuring organ and temple gong.
