Ex Cathedra is launching a major development programme to mark its 40th (XL) anniversary in 2009/10. This XL Anniversary Project brings together everything that Ex Cathedra stands for: groundbreaking performances, expanding the choral repertoire through research and commissions and delivering inspirational education work to nurture young talent for the future. Launched with the 1784 ‘Commemoration of Handel’ Messiah on 5 April 2008, other highlights of the XL Anniversary will be performances of Mendelssohn’s Elijah in October 2008 and Elgar’s The Dream of Gerontius in November 2009. There will be a significant series of new commissions, and planned recordings include John Joubert’s landmark oratorio Wings of Faith and a new CD based on our popular Christmas Music by Candlelight concerts. Integral to the XL Anniversary will be the expansion of our innovative education work beyond its current geographical reach: the continuation of Singing Starts; the training of gifted and talented young singers; and the award-winning community programmes. In order to fulfil these ambitions we are launching the XL Anniversary Angels Appeal. Click here to download a letter detailing the Appeal and explaining how you can become an Anniversary Angel. Whatever you can give will help ensure that Ex Cathedra can continue to work for the benefit of Birmingham, the region and the future of choral music in this country. We hope that you will be able to give generously. BE AN ANGEL – thank you!
