CEFC feat. Jacob Collier’s World O World – 7.30pm
Jacob Collier’s recent World O World is the climax of this extraordinary concert by Crouch End Festival Chorus under its conductor, David Temple. The programme also features A Memory of the Ocean for choir, piano and cello by young composer Grace-Evangeline Mason and a beautifully hypnotic work by Ukrainian composer Victoria Poleva, David’s Psalm. Paul Patterson’s exciting, characterful Time Piece was originally composed for The King’s Singers in the 1970s and has been arranged by him especially for CEFC. With works by Arvo Pärt, John Tavener and Samuel Barber too, this is a rare feast of choral treats.

It's a theme that runs through every work on the bill, from Bach's much celebrated Chaconne to Viktor Ullmann's Symphony No. 2, a work by a composer who wrote it while imprisoned in Theresienstadt before he was sent to his death at Auschwitz.
