The Clerkes of All Saints Choir – Director Benjamin Kirk

Saturday 24 April, 1.00pm

We are delighted to welcome back one of York’s leading choirs, The Clerkes of All Saints, under their conductor Benjamin Kirk. They will be presenting a varied programme to include recent work by Late Music regulars David Power and David Hammond and an appealing composition by Leeds-based Cassie White.

These works will be complemented by three well-known staples of the contemporary choral repertoire, by Arvo Part and Morten Lauridsen, and Aaron Copland’s rarely heard “Four Motets” composed when he was studying with Nadia Boulanger in Paris in the 1920s. Rounding off the concert and continuing the American theme are Stephen Paulus’ “The Road Home” and Stephen Foster’s “Hard Times”.
