Bernstein - Chichester Psalms
Chichester Psalms was commissioned by Chichester Cathedral's Dean, Walter Hussey and first performed in Bernstein's presence, at Chichester Cathedral on 31st July 1965. The concert features in the planned centennial celebration 'Bernstein in Chichester', a year of activities in the City of Chichester in honour of one of the great musical forces of the 20th century.
"Bernstein was a thinker, teacher, author, television star, provocateur, humanitarian, and he was my hero. As with all true mentors, Bernstein taught me more than a craft. He showed me - and the world - the enormous power of music and how important it is to share it with as much of humanity as is possible. He showed us that classical music is a powerful force that can transform lives as well as inspire and move people, and he lived by those principles." Marin Alsop.
