ORA Singers

The ORA singers present a concert themed around ?the passing of the Year?, centred around Jonathan Dove?s song-cycle of the same name for double choir and piano, alongside Renaissance songs celebrating sacred feast days, poetry for each season and new work from Manchester-based composer Emily Pedersen, and BBC Philharmonic composer-in-residence Tom Coult.
