PR9.NET July 25, 2007 - WAKE FOREST, N.C. - TheClassicalStation.org announces today that their weekly program "Preview!" will feature an interview with John Rutter, prolifically recorded composer, conductor and arranger. The interview will air Sunday, July 29 at 7 p.m. ET. BBC Music Magazine says John Rutter is, "The most successful and well-known composer of chorale music in recent British History." WCPE's Larry Kirwan discusses Rutter's famous composition, Requiem, his lifetime of accomplishments and achievements, as well as his visit to the Hinshaw Music Celebration Choral Workshop at Duke Chapel, August 5 at 8:00 p.m. The Bel Canto Company of Greensboro will perform the Requiem on the 20th Anniversary of its publication. There will also be only the second performance of a carol written expressly for the Queen on the celebration of her 80th birthday year, New Year. "Preview!" will be playing an excerpt from Rutter's Requiem. Rutter's recordings span the spectrum: large and small scale choral works, various orchestral and instrumental pieces, a piano concerto, two children's operas, music for television and specialist writing for such groups as the Philip Jones Brass Ensemble and the King's Singers. "A week does not go by that I am not inspired by one of Rutter's masterpieces," says Deana Vassar, host of "Preview!" "The holiday season would not be the same without Rutter's sacred chorales, madrigals and hymns." "Preview!" airs every Sunday evening from 6 p.m. – 9 p.m. ET and presents the latest in classical recordings and upcoming classical events.
