Blue Skies: Newman College Choir concert

Join the Newman College Choir at the Chapel of the Holy Spirit for Blue Skies, the first in a series of concerts by the choir based on colour in music.

This concert will explore various shades of blue, ranging from the crystal blue of Norwegian fjords to the dappled turquoise of the ocean, and from the lapis lazuli of the Virgin Mary to the smoky blues of a jazz bar in the thirties.

The program includes:

• Ave Maris Stella by Claudio Monteverdi
• Salve Regina by Marc-Antoine Charpentier
• The Road by Ola Gjeilo
• Blue Skies by Irving Berlin
• Mr Blue Sky by Jeff Lynne
• Blue Moon by Rodgers and Hart  

Featuring:

• Dean Sky-Lucas on piano and organ
• Director Gary Ekkel
