Their last performance at the Barbican brought actor Benedict Cumberbatch to tears and now Hertfordshire Chorus are returning for another evening of top-class music.

Two years ago they were the first choir to perform at the centre's Milton Court Concert Hall and next week the group will be back there to perform a programme of music spanning 300 years.

It comprises Dixit Dominus by Frederick Handel, first performed in 1707, and Songs from Liquid Days by Philip Glass, a popular classic arranged by Jeremy Merchant, which is less than 15 years old.

The chorus, under the musical direction of David Temple, will be joined by soloists Zoe Brown, Esther Brazil, Clara Sanabras and Robin Green with the London Orchestra da Camera.

The chorus was last at the Barbican to perform the world premiere of Codebreaker in the main concert hall. It was composed by James McCarthy based on the life of Alan Turing, who helped break the Enigma code during World War Two.

A film of his life is due for release in November starring Benedict Cumberbatch, who attended the concert.

This week Jame McCarthy revealed he had received a mesage from the actor following the emotional performance.

"He said he had been moved to tears and people told me afterwards he lead the standing ovation at the end."

He also revealed the chorus has been asked back to the Barbican on May 17, 2015 to perform Codebreaker again. Details will be released closer to the next.

The Songs from Liquid Days concert will be performed at Milton Court, Silk Street, London, on Saturday, October 25, 7.30pm. Details: hertfordshirechorus.org.uk or from the Barbican on 020 7638 8891.
