On March 9th we attended a concert in Birmingham Town Hall, given by one of our favourite choirs – Ex Cathedra – whose founder/director, Jeffrey Skidmore, remains at the helm some 50 years after establishing the choir. This concert comprised much of repertoire which he has discovered and edited, recordings of which helped make the choir’s name: 17th and 18th century music from Mexico, Bolivia and Brazil, plus a mass setting by the Italian Domenico Zipoli (1688-1726), who worked in Córdoba (Peru). A scintillating afternoon.
