Don’t let heavenly voices fall silent

BACK in France, after the ‘Duke Ellington’s Sacred Music’ we performed in St Fin Barre’s Cathedral in Cork, I wish to express my best thanks to all the members of the Cork Jazz Festival committee ...

... the Dean of St Fin Barre’s, the City of Cork, and all the sponsors, for the generosity of their welcome. They all permitted our orchestra to perform in perfect conditions.

As the conductor, faithful to Duke Ellington’s guidance, I have to underline the great pleasure I felt in conducting this ensemble of almost 50 people on stage, all engaged in the search for pure emotion, and particularly the great quality and sensitivity of the choir Voices of Cork.
