Mass in Blue is a brilliant blend of driving jazz grooves and clear, strong, choral writing against which the solo piano and solo soprano voice weave and blend in a delightful aural tapestry.  This central work is complemented by beautiful musical settings of religious texts, infused with a highly individual and melodic style, bringing the composer’s lifelong love of traditional choral music into the 21st century with spiritual sensitivity and a contemporary edge.

Solo soprano: Ana Beard Fernández
Solo piano: Oli Lallement

A short recital of songs by Cole Porter will be given before the concert by Ana, Oli, and the jazz trio.
