The Magdalena Consort has just returned from highly successful concert in the prestigious Festival of Santiago de Compostela in North West Spain. The team of singers was Gillian Keith, Daniel Taylor, James Gilchrist, and Peter Harvey, who also directed. The players, led by Matthew Truscott, were a very distinguished group, and their enthusiasm was key to the tremendous reception the performance received. Some of the performance can be heard on this website (see "Magdalena Music Player" on the home page).
We are looking forward to our debut with the MDR Sommermusik festival in Germany, to be given in the 'Bach town' of Arnstadt. The festival is starting its own cycle of Bach's cantatas, which accounts for the fact that we shall be performing cantatas for the second day of Christmas, amongst others. The soloists on this occasion will include Robin Blaze, James Gilchrist and Peter Harvey.
