LEONARD BERNSTEIN’S CHICHESTER PSALMS FOR CHOIR, HARP, PERCUSSION AND ORGAN

Where: Christ Church, Jebel Ali
When: Thursday, 6th June, 7:45pm

In between playing at weddings and events and teaching, I have been busy practicing for a Dubai Chamber Choir concert performance of the Chichester Psalms by the great American composer Leonard Bernstein with choir, organ, harp and percussion. Stuart Squire will be conducting the concert, Ron Malanga will play percussion, Paul Griffiths the organ and I will complete the ensemble with my harp.

It’s a piece which has a very challenging and interesting part for a harp and it is a great experience for me. Many people, particularly those who are not that familiar with the harp, think it is mainly a quiet, peaceful instrument. You can see in this piece that can actually be played with a lot of force.

The concert is going to be held at Christ Church, Jebel Ali, on 6th June at 7.45pm. Entrance is free or in exchange for a charitable donation.

There is more information here about Dubai Chamber Choir and a countdown to the concert. I better get back to practising!

I look forward to seeing you there.
