Thanksgiving

ORA Singers present their own Mass of Thanksgiving, celebrating the best of American and European choral music. Based around the Mass for Five Voices by the 'Father of English Musick' William Byrd, the evening includes masterpieces by Tallis, Palestrina and Hildegard of Bingen alongside works by Bernstein, Lauridsen and Whitacre and world premieres by two American rising stars, Julia Adolphe and Paola Prestini.

"It’s hard to fault the vocal qualities of ORA Singers, the choral ensemble formed in 2014 by Suzi Digby. They sail through the air with an almost astonishing purity of tone, perfect balance and togetherness — ideal weapons for their chosen repertoire, Renaissance masterpieces and the new fruits of contemporary composers."- Geoff Brown, The Times, 4 stars
