18th September 2010
As part of New Mills Festival we performed at St James Arts Centre to a happy and appreciative audience.
In full song
We gave a mixed exciting programme from around the world, singing in English, French, Italian, Russian, Samoan and a bit of Swedish for good measure! The songs came from a range of traditions, from sacred to secular madrigals and folk songs.
We were excited to be hosted by St James Church as their last concert before they close for a major re-development as an Arts and Heritage centre.
Their review:
Duodecimo sang “exquisitely” to a large audience last Saturday. “It was altogether a superb and calming evening.”
Thankyou!
