    Description: A French Connection – Poulenc, Debussy, Ravel +

    Celebrating 120 years since the birth of Francis Poulenc, Oxford Pro Musica Singers (OPMS) present a concert showcasing some of the best and most well-loved French choral classics from the 20th Century. The focus of the concert is Poulenc's Mass in G : successfully mixing conventional and radical harmonies in this virtuosic unaccompanied setting of the Mass.

    We also present both Debussy's popular Trois Chansons de Charles d'OrlĂ©ans and Ravel's extremely challenging Trois Chansons, together with music by the well-loved American composer Morten Lauridsen – his Chansons des Roses.
     
    Join OPMS for an evening of exciting and sublime choral music - demonstrating why they are one of Oxford's premier choirs.

    Tickets (cost £12 - £5 for students and under 18)  are available from Tickets Oxford. at
