From Palestrina to Jazz – 500 years of church choral music
Join us at 1.10pm in the Nave for a lunchtime recital performed by Dodecantus.
The choir will perform Bob Chilcott’s Nidaros Jazz Mass as well as works by Palestrina, Parry and Arvo Part.
The recital is included with your cathedral admission.
About the Choir:
The name Dodecantus is derived from two languages – the Greek for twelve is “dodeka” and the Latin for singing is “cantus.” Although there are now usually more than 12 choir members, numbers are kept small to produce a special and intimate sound at every performance in each different surrounding.
Founded in 2004 the choir performs regular concerts around our home in north Wiltshire and has toured five times in Europe to France, Malta, Spain and Gibraltar, performing at several wonderful UNESCO World Heritage sites. In more recent years the choir has also deputised for cathedral choirs in St. David’s, Truro, Chichester, Wells and Ely.
