Music from America features in this dazzling display of orchestral virtuosity and choral luminosity, as the University of Aberdeen Choral Society and Symphony Orchestra join forces with Welsh pianist, Iwan Llewellyn-Jones in Gershwin's jazz-flavoured, Rhapsody in Blue, and with distinguished composer Morten Lauridsen in his ever-popular and deeply moving, Lux Aeterna. Dr Lauridsen also accompanies the choral society in his joyously beautiful, Sure on this Shining Night.
