Join the 大象传媒 Singers, organist James McVinnie and leading Norwegian conductor Grete Pedersen for an evening of Scandinavian choral music at St Giles鈥� Cripplegate, London.

The concert features Grieg鈥檚 captivating arrangement of traditional Norwegian chorales 鈥� the Four Psalms Op. 74 for baritone and mixed chorus 鈥� which became the composer鈥檚 final composition before his death in 1907.

Choral works by contemporary Norwegian and Danish composers complete the programme: from Cecilie Ore鈥檚 Shakespeare-inspired drama on the vulnerability of life 鈥楾oil and Trouble鈥� to the profound harmonic layers in Knut Kystedt鈥檚 鈥業mmortal Bach鈥�, conceived by overlapping the elegant chords of Bach鈥檚 chorale 鈥楰omm, s眉sser Tod鈥�.

Admission to this concert is on a first-come, first-served basis. Please note that as not everyone who asks for tickets uses them, to make sure we have a full house we send out more tickets than there are places. We do our best to get the numbers right, but unfortunately we occasionally have to disappoint people so please arrive early.
