Venue: St Editha's Church, St. Editha's Close, Tamworth, B79 7DA
We’re delighted to be hosting our Midlands singing day in Tamworth with Bob Chilcott!
Described by The Observer as “a contemporary hero of British Choral Music”, he has become one of the most widely performed composers of choral music in the world. Bob has enjoyed a lifelong association with choral music, as a chorister and choral scholar in the choir of King’s College, Cambridge, and as a member of the King’s Singers. He became a full-time composer and conductor in 1997, and has composed a large catalogue of choral music which is published by Oxford University Press. His most often performed pieces include Can you hear me?, A Little Jazz Mass, Requiem, and the St John Passion. Two major works have received their world premiere in 2025 – The Rainbow, commissioned by Choralis and The Children’s Chorus of Washington, and Mass for Peace and Resolution at the 2025 Three Choirs Festival.
Join us for a wonderful singing day under Bob’s leadership as he introduces us to one of these new works ‘The Rainbow’ (2025), as well as ‘Five Passion Hymns’ from his St John Passion. All music will be provided on the day.
