Proms at ... Southwark Cathedral

BBC Proms2017

The BBC Singers and chief conductor David Hill join forces with the Nash Ensemble for the world premiere of Judith Weir's In the Land of Uz.

The BBC Singers with Chief Conductor David Hill perform the world premiere of In the Land of Uz, by the group's Associate Composer Judith Weir. Joined by tenor Adrian Thompson and the Nash Ensemble, with Stephen Farr at the organ, In the Land of Uz is a dramatised reading of the biblical Book of Job, from which all the text is taken.

The BBC Singers also perform Palestrina's masterful Missa 'Confitebor tibi' in the sumptuous acoustic of Southwark Cathedral.
