The third of the London Oriana Choir and conductor Dominic Peckham's five15 concerts takes place at the Cutty Sark in Greenwich on Thursday 21 June 2018. Entitled The Sirens' Voice: Magnificent Women, the concert continues the five15's exploration of music by women composers with a programme spanning the centuries from the 11th to the 21st, starting with an arrangement of a Hildegard von Bingen plainsong by Felicia Sandler to Vespertilians by the American composer Jocelyn Hagen, and the award-winning The Angel by the young Swedish composer Tina Andersson. British composers include Imogen Holst, Kerry Andrew and Sally Beamish.
The name of the choir's third five15 composer-in-residence will also be announced at the concert. The 2017/18 holder of this role Rebecca Dale, has just been signed to Decca Publishing and Decca Classics, the first woman to achieve this distinction.
