Festival favourites Oxford Camerata and Mayfield Consort, accompanied by Olly Lallemant’s jazz trio, Jack Gonzalez-Harding (Organ), and conducted by Andrew Benians.
In the first half of the concert – a selection of choral works with a Coronation theme, then a performance of
Will Todd’s Mass in Blue
in celebration of the 20th anniversary of the work. A showcase for jazz trio, choir and vocal soloist, the Mass in Blue is a genuinely novel experience, but one that feels as natural as a fusion of Jazz FM and Classic FM: smooth and easy on the ear, but gloriously unpredictable too.
