Programme

  • David Fanashwe African Sanctus, 57′

“I love the world!” proclaimed David Fanshawe: composer, explorer, and creator of African Sanctus: the genre-busting masterpiece that fused western choral music with the musical traditions of East Africa. It’s a shout of joy - a song of friendship, inclusion, and the life-affirming power of music – so what better way to showcase the talents of the fabulous Ex Cathedra choir, the CBSO’s very own community choir SO Vocal, and Birmingham’s electrifying Keneish Dance?
