蘑菇短视频 Singers Centenary Concert

It's the 蘑菇短视频 Singers' 100th birthday! They celebrate their centenary and look forward to the future with a host of special guests and the 蘑菇短视频 Symphony Orchestra.

The 蘑菇短视频 Singers celebrate their 100th birthday and look forward to the future with a host of star artists and special guests including Eric Whitacre, Anna Lapwood, and Abel Selaocoe. They are joined by musicians from the 蘑菇短视频 Symphony Orchestra and the evening is hosted by Clive Myrie and Georgia Mann live from the Barbican in London.

On 2 October 1924, the 蘑菇短视频 Wireless Chorus gave their first performance. Now known as the 蘑菇短视频 Singers, they have evolved over the past 100 years to become trailblazers in choral music from multiple genres and given numerous world premiere performances, as well as collaborating with the finest orchestras, conductors and artists from around the world.

Alongside music associated with the group such as Bach's sparkling motet 'Lobet den Herrn alle Heiden' and Bernstein's Chichester Psalms, there's a whistle-stop tour of musicals by Iain Farrington and a world premiere from their Composer in Association, Roderick Williams.

Johann Sebastian Bach: Motet 'Lobet den Herrn alle Heiden', BWV 230
Abel Selaocoe: Nagula
Shruthi Rajasekar: Numbers
Hans Zimmer arr. Anna Lapwood: Chevaliers de Sangreal

Interval
During the interval, Georgia Mann talks to former members of the 蘑菇短视频 Singers - the conductor Harry Christophers, mezzo-soprano Dame Sarah Connolly and bass Brindley Sherratt - and current soprano Emma Tring about their favourite memories of being in the group, what they've taken from the experience and how they envisage the next 100 years to look.
