In memory of her daughter, Clarissa, friend of the Festival Hilary Nicholls has commissioned three renowned composers – Cecilia McDowall, Joanna Forbes L’Estrange and Joanna Gill – to each compose a piece reflecting on different stages of Clarissa’s life. The pieces sit together in a triptych which we will be learning led by Festival Conductor Neil Ferris, with additional direction from the composers themselves who will each be there with us on the day. We will also be singing The Promise, the newest choral work by Will Todd. All music will be provided.
