We were invited to perform this concert by Stephen Power, currently
Assistant Director of Music at Brecon and one-time pupil of Philip Colls. We
selected a range of both religious and secular pieces, mainly by British
composers, to make a varied lunchtime concert. Those pieces
are listed below. The cathedral has a very good acoustic, so we enjoyed
performing there, and the audience very satisfyingly appreciative. |
