KARL JENKINS & CAROL BARRATT to accompany St Albans Chamber Choir
-
For the last concert of this anniversary season on Saturday
4 July 2009, the St
Albans Chamber Choir will be performing for the
first time in many years in St Peter’s Church, St Albans, with a
wide-ranging programme of music from different periods that turns to the
natural world for inspiration.
A Parliament of Owls was composed by Karl Jenkins to a text by
his wife, Carol Barratt, who is also a noted composer, particularly of piano
music for education. We are very privileged that both Karl Jenkins and Carol
Barratt will not only attend the concert, but also accompany the choir in
this performance as piano duettists.
