Monteverdi's 50th Anniversary, Big Bands and Choirs

Sara Mohr-Pietsch marks the Monteverdi Choir's 50th anniversary. Plus music for massed choirs and big band and the Choral Classic: Brahms's German Requiem.

Sara Mohr-Pietsch marks the 50th anniversary of the Monteverdi Choir, and gets a sneak preview of "I Got Gershwin", a brand new arrangement of Gershwin numbers for massed choirs, big band, strings and soloist, in advance of its world premiere at Bristol's International Jazz and Blues Festival. Wrexham Community Choir feature in "Meet My Choir", and Sara's great Choral Classic is the German Requiem by Brahms.
