Joined by Claire Jones, the official harpist to HRH The Prince of Wales, Christopher Bell leads performances of Britten’s A Ceremony of Carols, An English Day Book – an exciting rarity by English composer Elizabeth Poston, and two contemporary works by Scottish composer Oliver Iredale Searle and Irish composer Stephen Deazley.
