Advent service at Newport Cathedral , Sunday 8th December 2024
The St Woolos Sinfonia and Chorale performed JS Bach’s beautiful Cantata, Nun Komm Der Heiden Heiland, BWV 61, as the musical centrepiece of an act of worship to mark the season of Advent. Also performed was a new composition, Fiat Lux, by contemporary composer, Ben Heneghan, written especially for this occasion. The event was an uplifting experience and we were privileged to have planned it in collaboration with Newport Cathedral.
Soloists: Soprano - Sarah Jane Griffiths, Tenor - Dominic Neville, Baritone - Leonardo Au-Yeung. Leader: Christoph Mädler. Conductor: Huw Griffiths
