Events for the 2008/9 season. (To see details of the events we've already done this year, click here.)

Messiah Part 1 and other seasonal music.

Tuesday December 2nd. 2008, St. Nicolas' church, Newport, Shropshire, 7-30 p.m.

We are doing "Part 1" of the ever-popular Handel's Messiah again, i.e up to the chorus "His yoke is easy....", following the very successful concert with a small chamber group of instrumentalists that we did two years ago.
After the interval we will again be performing Britten's Hymn to St. Cecilia, and the Ave Maria by one of the choir's favourite composers, an American called Morten Lauridsen.
We finish with some audience participation, i.e. the choir and congregation will sing a selection of carols, and again, following very favourable comments from previous years, the choir will sing "in the round", or more precisely "in the rectangle", to give a genuine "surround sound" effect. If you haven't experienced it before, well, you know where to come!
Tickets £10, concessions £8, and seasonal refreshments will be served to complete the occasion!
