I’m hugely excited to be conducting a revival and recording of Parry’s first oratorio Judith at Royal Festival Hall next April.

It is a work that has been largely neglected for the best part of a century and never recorded. This will be a large undertaking and a hugely important event in the modern revival of Parry’s music, and neglected English masterpieces in general. The London English Song Festival, a registered charity in the UK that seeks to increase the knowledge of neglected music, is overseeing the project.

It will be critical to raise funds to support the recording in particular, in order to fill an important missing piece in the musical jigsaw of Parry, a giant of English choral and orchestral writing.

Tickets for the concert on 3rd April 2019 go on sale on 4th September. See the LESF Judith page for more information on the events and to find out how to support us.
