Benjamin Britten (1913-1976) was perhaps the greatest choral composer of the twentieth century. In celebration of Britten’s 100th anniversary this year, the Wisconsin Chamber Choir has assembled a delightful program featuring Britten’s quirky cantata, Rejoice in the Lamb, along with his rapturously beautiful Five Flower Songs. Complimenting Britten’s works are pieces by his “friends” (both figuratively and literally), including music by Arvo Pärt, Henry Purcell, Percy Grainger, and Frank Bridge. The Britten Boy Choir of Madison, conducted by Randal Swiggum, will make a special appearance performing music by Britten and others. Organist and pianist Mark Brampton Smith joins the WCC performing the virtuoso keyboard parts in Britten’s Rejoice in the Lamb and in several of Percy Grainger’s boisterous folksong arrangements.

Founded in 1999, the Madison-based Wisconsin Chamber Choir has established a reputation for excellence in the performance of oratorios from the Baroque and Classical eras, a cappella masterworks from various centuries, and world premieres. Dr. Robert Gehrenbeck is the WCC’s Artistic Director.
