Following the wonderful “Bach to Bethlehem” concerts, which were much enjoyed by singers and audience alike, we are excited to be launching into rehearsals this weekend for our next concert outing in May.
“O Radiant Dawn” will bring together excerpts from Thomas Victoria “Missa pro Defunctis” interspersed with ethereal sounds reflecting “sun”, “stars” and “moonlight”.
Dates for your diary are 10th and 11th May and we look forward to seeing you either at St Nicholas Church, Warwick for the Saturday evening or at Dorridge Methodist Church for the Sunday afternoon.
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!
