Music

The University of Surrey’s Chamber Choir and Orchestra return to the URC Music Series with a programme of music to nurture the soul. Britten’s setting of Auden’s poem was written at the same time as his Ceremony of Carols, and shares the same wonderful music effects. The Hymn contrasts with the austere beauty of Stravinsky’s Mass and the extreme purity of Bach and Purcell. 

This concert is one of the opening events of the 2013 Guildford International Music Festival.

An exciting evening of new work by the University of Surrey’s composition students. With nine pieces being premièred, surround sound electronics and a symphony orchestra formed exclusively for the concert, this will be an exciting evening of inventive musicmaking by up and coming composers.
