This will be a joint concert between the University Choir and University Philharmonia, set in the beautiful atmosphere of St Mary’s Church.

St Mary’s Church, one of Nottingham’s most beautiful churches provides the setting for this programme of glorious polychoral music and psalm settings. Psalm 150, with its joyful invocations to praise God with all manner of instruments, has appealed to composers for centuries. This concert features three settings by Schutz (1619), Ives (1894), and Stravinsky (1930). Written during his neoclassical phase, Stravinsky’s Symphony of Psalms is a tour-de-force for chorus and instrumentalists alike. The concert also includes the premiere of a new work by University of Nottingham postgraduate composer Angela Slater.

Schütz Psalm 150
