ACADEMIA Musica presents a programme of English choral classics from the 16th and 17th centuries, offering a rare chance to hear the development of the English style over an extended period of time. The music ranges from the delicate simplicity of Byrd’s Ave verum corpus to the sumptuous seven-part polyphony of Tallis’s Loquebantur variis linguis. The concert will be directed by Aryan Arji.
The Academia Musica Choir, conducted by Aryan O Arji, is a semi-professional ensemble which has a recording contract with Priory Records, broadcasts on the BBC and has performed with professional ensembles such as the English Symphony Orchestra and Oxford and Cambridge University Choirs. The choir performs a substantial repertoire of sacred music every week in British cathedrals as well as productions of large-scale works and debut performances of contemporary works. Forthcoming projects include Mozart Requiem with the ESO in St John’s, Smith Square, London and a tour to Germany in summer 2015.
