SUMMARY:THE OXFORD PROM! London Symphony Chorus
DESCRIPTION:Conductors: Mariana Rosas, Michelle Castelletti\nOrgan: Benjamin Frost\nThe Oxford Festival of the Arts is proud to be collaborating with the London Symphony Chorus to bring to Oxford an evening of great music-making.  Some of the most loved choral works, with a chorus of over 120 singers!\nFounded in 1966, to complement the work of the London Symphony Orchestra, the LSC has performed with many leading orchestras: frequently with the LSO, and also with the Berlin Philharmonic, Vienna Philharmonic, Leipzig Gewandhaus, Los Angeles Philharmonic, New York Philharmonic and, more recently, with Les Siècles, the SWR Symphony Orchestra and with the Simón Bolívar Symphony Orchestra of Venezuela.  The LSC tours extensively in Europe. Recent tours have included Paris, Baden-Baden and Luxembourg under Sir Simon Rattle, who remains the President of the Chorus.\nTonight, the LSC Chorus Director, Mariana Rosas, and the director of the Oxford Festival of the Arts, Michelle Castelletti, will be sharing the podium for an evening to remember!  They have enjoyed coming up with a programme of glorious works, including immortal pieces such as Handel’s Zadok the Priest; Carl Orff’s explosive first movement from ‘Carmina Burana’, O Fortuna; excerpts from Brahms Ein Deutsches Requiem (German Requiem) and Elgar’s Dream of Gerontius; and gorgeous works including Fauré’s Cantique de Jean Racine, Stanford’s Beati Quorum Via, Whitacre’s Lux Aurumque, Ginastera’s O vos omnes  from the ‘Lamentations of Jeremiah’, Bruckner’s Os Iusti, Parry’s I was glad; as well as (of course!), the chance for the audience to join in, in prom-like fashion!\n
