Poland 2012
Aug 29th - 2nd September
Ishirini travelled to Poland joining the Polish choir Strzyzowski Chor Kameralny. The tour comprised two joint concerts in Rzeszow and Krakow, featuring music sung by each choir and some joint pieces.
Ishirini’s repertoire celebrated the two ages of Elizabeth in this Diamond Jubilee year. From early English repertoire, represented by Byrd, Sheppard and White, we also included several contemporary pieces, one of which was written by a tenor in the choir, Alan Charlton. As is customary for our tours, one of the pieces we sang was an entirely new commission written by one of the members of Ishirini, Owen Leech.
