GREAT NEWS (February 2007): Ennio Morricone, world-famous composer of over 450 film
scores, agrees to become a Patron of CEFC. We are honoured!
Autumn 07 engagements include a rare performance of John Foulds's A World Requiem at the Royal Albert Hall on Remembrance Sunday with the BBC Symphony Orchestra, also for broadcast; The UK premiere of film composer Zbigniew "Three Colours Trilogy" Preisner’s Silence, Night and Dreams with the London Symphony Orchestra; and on 29 December, an Opera Gala also at the Barbican as part of Raymond Gubbay's Christmas Festival. CEFC's next "own brand" concert features excerpts from John Adams's The Death of Klinghoffer and Bernstein's West Side Story on 9 Feb at the Barbican. On sale now.
MOST RECENT REVIEWS: CEFC were guests of The Kinks legend (and fellow north Londoner) Ray Davies at Camden's Roundhouse for the BBC Electric Proms 2007.
“most fabulously, Crouch End Festival Chorus added a divine dimension to Days, Waterloo Sunset and Shangri-La (performed here live, Davies said, for the first time). Lovely, lovely, lovely. As the Chorus's voices soared behind him, Ray Davies looked like a very proud man indeed.”
David Cheal, Daily Telegraph 2007
“Crouch End Festival Chorus - described as "singing angels" - added their heavenly voices to brilliant reworkings of Dedicated Follower of Fashion and Days.”
André Paine, Evening Standard
“one of those genuine 'new music moments' (which the Electric Proms is supposed to be all about) when the Crouch End Festival Chorus, no less, participates in four songs. These include the first live performance of Shangri-La and a hauntingly beautiful version of Waterloo Sunset, probably the highlight of the evening.”
