Over the past four years the vocal ensemble I Fagiolini has worked regularly with the SDASA Chorale, an amateur male-voice gospel choir from Soweto which draws its members from the Seventh Day Adventists' Student Association. In this concert given in St Mary-in-the-Castle Church, Hastings, earlier this year each ensemble performs a selection of its own music. And their resident composers, who are also performers, have added new interpretations to each other's music from their own traditions. Paul Guinery is joined by director of I Fagiolini Robert Hollingsworth.
