Please join Ealing Choral Society next Saturday, 12 November 2022, for a very special concert celebrating their 60th Anniversary of making music in Ealing. The highlight of the concert will be the world premiere of a new work, "Bird of Time," commissioned especially for the occasion by celebrated British composer Cecilia McDowall.

Cecilia McDowall has won many awards, been short-listed eight times for the British Composer Awards and in 2014 won the Choral category of the British Composer Awards for her haunting work, Night Flight. In 2021 McDowall was given the coveted annual commission by King's College, Cambridge, to write the carol for the Choir of King's College and their music director, Daniel Hyde, to be part of the much-lovedFestival of Nine Lessons and Carols broadcast world-wide on Christmas Eve.

Ealing Choral Society is delighted to be performing this work alongside other celebratory works by Vivaldi, Mozart and Monteverdi, accompanied by Orpheus Sinfonia and joined by soprano Danni O'Neill, mezzo soprano Sophie Overin, tenor Toby Ward and bass Gavin Cranmer-Moralee. Peter Asprey conducts.
