Lady Chapel Concert

Piano Jonathan Lilley
Conductor Andrew Parnell

Dvorák, Saint-Saëns Britten, Elgar and Fauré

With the magnificent and colourful displays of the Cathedral’s Flower Festival fresh in the memory, Ely Choral Society’s summer concert 2013 takes nature as its theme. The title comes from Dvorák’s Overture in his orchestral trilogy Nature, Life and Love, so it is not surprising that the programme includes his Songs of Nature. Dvorák adds colourful music to Hálek’s evocative poetry, describing scenes from the dews of early morn, to the birdsong in the forests and a rural celebration of the whole of Creation.

Music from Elgar (including the ever-popular As Torrents in Summer), Saint-Saëns (Calme des Nuits), the Flower Songs by Britten in his centenary year, and arrangements of songs by Fauré (including Lydia and Le Secret) make up an enchanting programme for a summer’s evening.

Jonathan Lilley is joining Ely Choral Society as accompanist for the last time. He has delighted everyone with his playing for the choir on both organ and piano for the past 11 years, but he is leaving Ely to establish the next chapter of his career at Waltham Abbey.
