Aberdeen Bach Choir - A Celebration of Choral Favourites

In this, our 70th anniversary year, Aberdeen Bach Choir, directed by Paul Tierney, is delighted to bring you the first of two very special concerts in St Machar's Cathedral. On Saturday 25th April we will perform an indulgent selection of favourite and well known choral works in celebration of our 70 years.
We will be accompanied on this auspicious occasion by Joseph Beech, Sub-Organist at Durham Cathedral. Joseph is the principal accompanist to Durham Cathedral Choir, playing the organ for daily services in addition to the choir's schedule of broadcasts, concerts, recordings and tours. He also assists the Master of the Choristers in his work conducting the choir, and recruiting and training the choristers.
Our programme is as follows:
Johann Sebastian Bach: “Singet dem Herrn ein neues Lied”
Johann Sebastian Bach: "Concerto in C Major BWV 595" (Organ Solo)
Anton Bruckner: “Locus Iste; Os Justi; Christus factus est”
Claudio Monteverdi: “Beatus Vir”
Benjamin Britten: “Hymn to St Cecilia”
Gerald Finzi: “Lo, The Full, Final Sacrifice”
