“Stardust”
This wide-ranging recital connects natural and spiritual regeneration, recognising loss, beauty, love, and joy.  Music from the Renaissance to the present day comes from England, Germany, Scandinavia, and Iceland as well as the USA and includes jazz standard arrangements.  The concert takes its title from a commission for the group by US composer Taylor Scott Davis.
