Rehearsals are starting on 20th April, for our next concert, on 13 June, in the lovely Waterloo Hall at Wellington College. The theme is 'Birds of Paradise' and there will be bird inspired songs with the main piece being The Sparrow Mass, written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1775 -1776 as a Mass in C. Its nickname came from a figuration/motif in the Hosanna section of two movements - the Sanctus and Benedictus, where the violins appear to 'chirp' and resemble birdsong, just before the choir takes up the main theme, See if you can spot this. The other concert pieces are by Felix Mendelssohn, Richard Rodney Bennett, Maurice Ravel and Caroline Shaw amongst others so an interesting and hopefully fun evening ( and you don't even have to be a twitcher to attend).
Tickets are now on sale from the link below, or can be bought at the door on the day, and we look forward to seeing you there.
