About This Festival
John Rutter is an English composer and conductor, associated mainly with choral music and active internationally for many years. His larger choral works, Gloria, Requiem, Magnificat, Mass of the Children, The Gift of Life, and Visions, are widely performed around the world, and many of his shorter pieces such as The Lord bless you and keep you, For the beauty of the earth, Look at the world, and All things bright and beautiful have become ‘standards’. He has composed or arranged many Christmas carols. He established the Collegium record label in 1983 as a vehicle for recordings with his professional chamber choir the Cambridge Singers, and they have made over fifty recordings. He has enjoyed a long association with Clare College, Cambridge – first as student, then Director of Music, later as parent, and recording producer for their renowned choir. Mr. Rutter edits the Oxford Choral Classics series, and, with Sir David Willcocks, co-edited four volumes of Carols for Choirs. He appears regularly in several countries as a guest conductor and choral ambassador. Mr. Rutter holds a Lambeth Doctorate in Music, and was awarded a CBE for services to music in 2007.
John Rutter conducts two of the most beautiful choral works ever composed, the Rutter Requiem and the sublime Fauré Requiem in the 1893 version edited by John Rutter.
