'O Radiant Dawn'

Join Durham University Chamber Choir in an evening which explores the expectation and preparation for light and celebrates its glory and power in an array of exciting and reflective choral music, sung by the University's most celebrated choral ensemble.


Durham University Chamber Choir presents a programme which explores the expectation and preparation for light and celebrates its glory and power, entitled "O Radiant Dawn".  Spotlighting James MacMillan's dynamic and rousing Strathclyde Motets, the evening's music weaves these motets together in a sequence which stretches right from the beginnings of light and hope to its powerful arrival, with works of Richard Allain, Joanna Marsh and Owain Park complimenting MacMillan's music throughout this artistic journey.  With music of some of the most celebrated 21st century composers, and a focus on new British choral music, this concert promises to be an exciting and unforgettable experience for all.

Two best friends, lyricist Hunter and composer Jeff, try to write a hit musical for the New York Musical Theatre Festival. The problem is that they have just three weeks.


Three weeks away from the deadline for a Musical Theatre festival, struggling writer friends Hunter and Jeff scramble to write a play in time. This one-act musical tells their story in a hilariously self-referential musical telling the story of "a musical about two guys writing a musical about two guys writing a musical".
