The Glories of Spain a concert by the Epsom Chamber Choir

The Epsom Chamber Choir presents an evening of inspiring choral music from Spain and welcomes a return visit from early music guitar specialist Jamie Akers.

The music of Spanish Renaissance composers such as Victoria, Guerrero and Lobo proves that it is every bit as beautiful as that of their famous Italian and English contemporaries. Renowned cellist Pablo Casals is less well known as a composer but the choir performs his ‘O vos Omnes’ together with more unaccompanied choral music from his country written in the last century.

Conductor Piers Maxim says, ’I relish this opportunity to perform this unfamiliar yet exquisite music. Many of our audience will be discovering its delights for the first time as these composers are so rarely heard here in the UK.’

Accompanying the choir and performing solo Spanish works for guitar is Jamie Akers, a leading artist in renaissance music. Performer, recording artist and teacher of early music, his most recent recording is the highly acclaimed ‘The Soldier’s return’ featuring Scottish romantic guitar music.
