Carols by Candlelight – a festive fundraiser

Christmas is a busy time for everyone – singers especially! This year is no exception and we are delighted to have been invited back to the wonderful Baroque church of St James the Great on the Packington Estate. We will be joined by Blue Sky Brass Quintet for a festive fundraiser in aid of Len’s Light, a charity shining a light on mental health in the rural community. Date for your diary is Thursday 12th December at 7 p.m. Be quick – tickets sell out very quickly!

Bach to Bethlehem

We are excited to be celebrating Christmas after our Night at the Opera! This year we are drawing together some of the most beloved music for the Christmas season, anchored by the jubilant choruses from J S Bach’s Christmas Oratorio (I-III) and framed by classic carols and works from Gustav Holst and others. Each piece tells a part of the Nativity story, offering a rich tapestry of sound that celebrates both the sacred mystery and the joy of Christmas.

The date is Saturday 7th December at 6 p.m. and the place is the lovely Hampton Parish Church – we look forward to seeing you there!

Our two concert dates for this work are confirmed as:

7pm, Saturday 11th May at Hampton in Arden Parish Church

4pm, Sunday 12th May at Dorridge Methodist Church

Getting ready for 2023…new concert dates released

After an incredibly successful Christmas concert season, a small break (to rest those voices), we’re getting ready for 2023! Rehearsals start in less than two weeks as we work towards our first concert weekend of the year in late April. Under the expert direction of Benjamin Hamilton we will also be joined by organist Kevin Gill and cellist Mark Walkem. With beautiful choral music by Bach, Duruflé, Tavener and Nystedt – this is a wonderful way of stepping into Spring together.
