Their mission is to mount performances for various audiences with music by well known composers, while exploring the works of lesser known composers. The Marion Consort can divide into duos, trios, octets, etc. for a well-rounded and blended performance. From our summer concert on Sunday, July 17, 2011 at Alverno College in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

PG Carnivalesque" under the patronage of Prof. Krzysztof Wilde, rector of Gdańsk Tech, attracted several hundred people who listened to daring performances of popular pop music hits. During the performance we heard choral arrangements of hits such as: "Dancing Queen", "Memory", "California Dreamin'" and "Maria". This time it was not Mozart or Bach, but ABBA, Queen and songs from the musical West Side Story that graced the walls of the Gdansk University of Technology in carnivalesque musical artistic creations. Jazz musicians performed along with the choir, and the musical effects were accompanied by a unique lighting arrangement, which required appropriate space and audience arrangement. The more-than-hour-long performance by the Academic choir of the Gdańsk University of Technology, conducted by Prof. Mariusz Mróz and accompanied by musicians from the Music Academy in Bydgoszcz, ended with joint singing, encores and a standing ovation.  less

This masterpiece was skilfully created and crafted by Ennio Morricone and sympathetically arranged by Darren Bartlett to appeal to every nation across the Globe, regardless of language. There are no lyrics as such, instead the vocalists sing syllables and sounds so as not to distract the listener away from the inspiring melody and the beauty of the only instruments featured; the human voice. Superbly executed by Vocal Ensemble, Muzaria. Strong soloists, soaring descants and solid harmonies from the 11 singers. Filmed at Guildford Cathedral. Audio recording Mixed and Engineered by Alvin Allison. Filming & Video Production by Kingsbere Designs. #Muzaria #GabrielsOboe #GuildfordCathedral www.darrenbartlett.co.uk Copyright DMB MUSIC 2000-2019 www.muzaria.com  less
