Live from Salford
From St Philip's Church, Salford. Petroc Trelawny introduces Nicholas Kraemer conducting Haydn's Symphony No 26 plus cantatas by Bach featuring the Manchester Chamber Choir.
A day of live music making from all over the UK, featuring the five 大象传媒 Orchestras, the 大象传媒 Singers and the Ulster Orchestra. With performances from Bach to Bartok and beyond, plus behind-the-scenes features on the orchestras' community work and their exciting plans for the future. Beginning with:
大象传媒 Philharmonic at St Philip's Church, Salford.
Presented by Petroc Trelawny
As the 大象传媒 Philharmonic prepares to move to its neighbouring base in Salford Quays over the next year, the Orchestra is in Sir Robert Smirke's Greek-style designed church in Salford. Nicholas Kraemer conducts the Orchestra and the Manchester Chamber Choir in two of Bach's finest Cantatas: the intimate No 159 which showcases the inspiring bass aria "Es ist vollbracht", and the ambitious No 21, "Ich hatte viel Bek脙录mmernis", which moves from darkness to a blazing final chorus. Between them, a profound symphony by Haydn which is perhaps more appropriate to this sacred setting than to the concert hall.
Bach: Cantata no. 159 (BWV.159) "Sehet, wir geh'n hinauf gen Jerusalem"
Haydn: Symphony no. 26 (H.1.26) in D minor "Lamentatione"
Bach: Cantata no. 21 (BWV.21) "Ich hatte viel Bekummernis"

During the concert there is an opportunity to take a closer look at the Orchestra's learning and outreach work as it gathers momentum ahead of the move to Salford, and to meet members of the recently-created Salford Family Orchestra. Plus interviews with Salford-based composer Alan Williams who worked extensively to create a new choral work that reflects a twenty-first century take on the true creation of the universe.
