| Registered Charity Number 1095739 Latest news (May 2009): The choir is celebrating Mendelssohn's 200th birthday in style, with a concert at St Martin-in-the-Fields on Tuesday, 23rd June. We're delighted to be performing at this prestigious (and now renovated) London venue, and would love to see lots of you there. Sam Laughton says: "This concert honours not only Mendelssohn's enormous contribution to the choral repertoire, but also his fundamental role in the revival of the music of JS Bach. Accordingly we will not only trace Mendelssohn's own development from neo-Baroque styles through to his fully romantic masterpieces, but also include one of Bach's surprisingly underperformed Lutheran Masses, together with his great motet Lobet Den Herrn." After which, we shall be heading into the Herefordshire countryside for a repeat performance at Dore Abbey. |
