Imperial Male Voice Choir present "Musica Sacra Pro Maria"

The Imperial Male Voice Choir takes its name from Imperial College, University of London, where the founder members met in the 1970s. Although Imperial is renowned world-wide for its tuition and research in the fields of Science, Technology and Medicine, its students and alumni also have a notable enthusiasm and reputation for music-making. For almost 50 years IMVC has entertained audiences and been successful in competitions at home and on tours to France, Germany, Ireland, Switzerland, Slovenia and Russia. Our eclectic repertoire spans almost 1000 years from plainchant and sacred through folk-song, classical, opera, musical theatre and popular genres. Our musical director, Deborah Miles- Johnson, and accompanist, Brian Parsons, are alumni of the Royal College of Music and both have many years of professional experience in performing, directing and teaching music. Our concerts usually raise money for charity. In recognition of the opportunity to sing in the glorious, inspiring Basilica of Senglea, we will present an evening of sacred music covering more than 500 years from plainchant and Tallis through Schubert, Fauré and African-American spirituals to the 21st century.
