The Baroque Inheritance
Our next concert is on Saturday 16th March 2024 in the the Church of St John the Evangelist in Iffley Road. The programme is an exploration of a chain of teacher-pupil relationships in Italy and Germany in the 17th century: Gabrieli taught Schütz, whose Musikalisches Exequien is now considered the first German requiem; it in turn was hugely influential on the styles of Buxtehude and Bach in the following two generations. Fuller information and booking details are in our Concert Diary. |
JUBILATE's new Musical Director
We are delighted to announce the appointment of our new musical director - Helen Smee. Helen's first concert with JUBILATE will be our Christmas concert in Keble College on 15th December 2023. The recruitment process has revealed the wealth of talent in the new generation of choral directors and we would like to thank the other wonderful musicians who came to audition with us. And finally we want to offer our heartfelt thanks to James Morley Potter who gave us five inspiring years of musical direction including two under exceptionally challenging circumstances. He kept us going through the Covid years, and led us back into the real thing with two memorable concerts in 2023, both great examples of his thoughtful and innovative programming. Who can forget Mauersberger's devastating: Wie liegt die Stadt so wüst? or Lauridsen's dramatic: Madrigali? |
