Summer Festivals
Duke Ellington鈥檚 Sacred Music performed by the 大象传媒 Singers with the UK Vocal Assembly and the Nu Civilisation Orchestra - sacred revues, blending big-band jazz, gospel and Broadway
大象传媒 Singers at the 2019 Proms perform Duke Ellington鈥檚 Sacred Music.
Jazz, showbiz swagger and spirituality came together as never before in Duke Ellington鈥檚 spectacular Sacred Concerts.
Described by Ellington himself as 鈥榯he most important thing I have ever done鈥, these sacred revues, blending big-band jazz, gospel and Broadway-style melodies, bring all the legendary musician鈥檚 originality and energy to Christian subjects, and generated three critically acclaimed, boundary-crossing albums. Drawing on these, the Proms premiered a brand-new Sacred Concert 鈥 an exhilarating evening of dance, song and spectacle.
Introduced by Georgia Mann.
