Jonathan Dove Commission

Over the past two years Bath Camerata has been raising funds in order to commission Jonathan Dove, one of this country’s finest contemporary writers for the voice, to compose a choral song-cycle celebrating the life of its friend and fellow singer, Hannah Shaw. This concert will be the world premiere performance of the work, and will be conducted by Benjamin Goodson, the choir’s Principal Guest Conductor.
