Concert by Truro Choral Society: ‘A Child of Our Time’
Sir Michael Tippett’s A Child of Our Time premiered in London in

the excellent Truro Symphony Orchestra. The choir will also sing
Rachmaninov's moving Bogoroditse Devo, conducted by James
Orford, and the pianist Paul Comeau will play Rachmaninov's
sublime Piano Concerto No 2 on the Cathedral's new concert
