...capture the stage spectacle on film, our Color Projects staff arranged a "photo call" - a performance of the show's highlights a cappella. Reporter-Researcher Mary Themo was pleasantly surprised by the performers' patience; they had already played two performances that day.

By contrast, Finzi's quiet music comments on the lyrics, in this case Metaphysical Poet Thomas Traherne's musings on the innocence and beauty of children. Tenor Wilfred Brown's impeccable diction helps to make this a delightfully accessible, intimate performance. The English Chamber Orchestra and soloists, conducted...
