Tredici

They have some wonderful Sunday afternoon concerts at St. George's Bloomsbury, and this was no exception.

Tredici are a large mixed choir who sing unaccompanied; this afternoon's programme included works by composers from Orlando Gibbons (16th/17th century) right through to Alfred Schnittke, who died in 1998 and Mack Wilberg, who was born in 1955.

The styles of music were quite varied,; particularly haunting was Mack Wilberg's The Dying Soldier.

There was a good audience, despite the awful weather; rain had been falling since early morning, and the streets were awash.  

As usual for these concerts, there was no entry charge, but a retiring collection for the church - the conductor joked that it we didn't give generously, they mightn't be invited back again!
