High Sheriff’s Concert 2019

High Sheriff Concert 2019

Wednesday 19 June at 7.30pm, Bristol Cathedral

David is conducting this year’s High Sheriff’s Concert in 2019 and has been commissioned to write a work which will receive its premiere at the event. The piece, Every breath a song, sets words by the Benedictine Sister, Delores Dufner from Minnesota, USA. David will conduct a chorus of 170 voices made of singers from Bristol Outh Choir, Exultate Singers, and the Bristol-based gospel choir Renewal Choir. Together they will perform a new work by the composer Toby Young and librettist Jennifer Thorp, As One, which celebrates the history and diversity of Bristol.  Exultate Singers will also perform Tallis’ iconic 40-part motet, Spem in alium.
