Duodecimo in Concert

~ Duodecimo ~ Leave a comment

18th September 2010

As part of New Mills Festival we performed at St James Arts Centre to a happy and appreciative audience.

Duodecimo singing
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!
