Conductor Philip Collin has put together a programme of works for this concert which, as befits our 75th anniversary year, will include two settings of The Spirit of the Lord – a lesser known one by Norman Barnes, the founding conductor of the choir and music teacher at King Edward VII school, and well-known setting of the same text by Edward Elgar. An extra treat in the Elgar section will be James Mitchell performing Nimrod from Elgar’s Enigma Variations.
