Our next concert includes all (well quite a few) of your favourite opera choruses plus a few choral favourites as well. We are talking Handel’s Zadok the Priest, Faure’s Pie Jesu, Brahms’ Wie Lieblich, Verdi’s Hebrew Slaves, Mozart Lacrimosa, Borodin’s Polovtsian Dances, and some pure orchestral masterpieces including Mascagni’s Intermezzo and more. It will be awesome.
For this concert we have the exciting young talent as our soprano soloist, Madeleine Perring. After graduating from the Royal College of Music she joined the Royal Academy’s Opera Studio. She will be more than awesome!
Tickets now available from the Tourist Information Office in the Town Hall, Juniper Flowers and online from Ticketsource. Plus from any choir member.
We had a wonderful concert on the 6th April, fantastic soloists, we sang very well and the orchestra was top notch. A great and appreciative audience as well so it was a lovely concert.
Our last concert was at 7 pm on Sunday 6th April in Sudbury Arts Centre at St Peter’s. We sang Haydn’s wonderful Nelson Mass and Handel’s Foundling Hospital Anthem with some great soloists and a professional orchestra.
Haydn’s Nelson Mass followed shortly after his masterly Creation oratorio. It is now one of his most popular choral works and deservedly so.
Handel’s Foundling Hospital Anthem was written to raise funds for this hospital of which Handel was a founder. It might not be his most original work but it is vintage Handel ending with the Hallelujah Chorus from the Messiah.
Tickets are £18 each (£5 for children and full time students) from Sudbury Tourist Office in the Town Hall, Juniper Flowers in North Street and online from Ticketsource.
What our audience said…..
“I really, really did enjoy that concert yesterday evening! All you singers were doing your stuff so professionally, making a lovely sound.
That Haydn mass one of my favourites and I love its alternative title, ‘In Angustiis’ does sound so very desperate!
The Music Director was very engaging and I loved that his wife was the double bass player and their son doing all the concert organ and harpsichord, switching deftly between the two instruments, sometimes with just one bar between the lines.
And how marvellous those young soloists! Each one had a beautiful sound and engaged with the audience very elegantly.”
