These two outstanding ensembles join forces, combining saxophones and voices to provide a totally new perspective on Baroque and Renaissance vocal works plus favourites from Vaughan Williams. The evening, which also features music performed by Corvus Consort or Ferio alone, closes with an especially commissioned arrangement of Vaughan William’s Cantata, In Windsor Forest, for Choir and Saxophone Quartet.
