Première after Première: BBC Singers at the Cheltenham Festival

Alexandra Hamilton-Ayres, 5th July

In most concert listings, premières seem to be thrown in as a one-off to offset a relatively risk-free billing. In this Cheltenham Music Festival concert, this was not the case. With no less than five premières in an evening of seven choral works, those present could be assured that they were hearing something new.
