Harrow Choral Society’s Autumn Concert A Season to Sing

Harrow Choral Society’s Autumn Concert, conducted by Music Director Sam Evans and accompanied on the organ by Paul Ayres, features an exciting work by composer Joanna Forbes L’Estrange which, while completely new, is bound to strike a familiar note with audiences. A Season to Sing is a choral re-imagining of Vivaldi’s enduring masterpiece, The Four Seasons, and is being premiered this year by choirs across this country and around the world. Joanna Forbes L’Estrange was inspired to arrange The Four Seasons for choirs to coincide with the 300th anniversary of its original publication. Vivaldi himself had written sonnets to accompany his music. Besides these, Joanna has incorporated a range of texts on the theme of seasons – poems, hymn texts and passages from the Bible, as well as sound-effects. In one wordless section she also pays homage to Ward Swingle, founder of the famous Swingle Singers. This promises to be a stimulating experience for performers and audience alike and opens a new perspective on this familiar and well-loved work.
