Although the words were written by medieval monks there’s nothing – repeat, nothing – sacred about Orff’s outrageous Cantata; just great tunes, unstoppabble energy and some thoroughly bad behaviour. It’s the climax of this showcase concert for our superb Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Choir, under their Chorusmaster Ian Tracey, and in Orff’s punchy original version, for piano and percussion, it’ll knock you backwards. Brahms offers gentler pleasures before the interval – though Holst’s Choral Fantasia is everything you’d expect from the composer of The Planets.
This concert will finish at approximately 22.00
