Stour Singers - 40th Anniversary Concert
2015-05-09–2015-05-10
On the evening of May 9th, the choir presents a very special anniversary concert in St. Edmund’s Church, Shipston.
The programme features Beethoven’s Mass in C, composed in 1807, at the height of his reputation and inventiveness, and Mendelssohn’s Lauda Sion, written in 1846 to a poem written in the 13th century by Canoness Juliana of Liege, to celebrate the Feast of Corpus Christi.
Accompanying the choir will be The Cherwell Orchestra, and the quartet of soloists features prominent national and international singers: soprano Ruth Holton, mezzo-soprano Shelley Coulter-Smith, tenor Nathan Vale, and bass-baritone Darren Jeffery.
Tickets for the concert are £12.50, but free to accompanied children. Please contact Yvonne Ridley, the choir’s co-ordinator, telephone 01789 269587.
