CHOIR PRESENTS ETHEREAL ECHOES OF HANDEL
The Baroque brilliance of Handel's music will transport the audience at the Claygate Choral Society's next concert in March. The ethereal echoes of “Sing unto God” will be complemented by the celestial beauty of Schubert's Mass in C, which intertwines spiritual depth with the rich tapestry of the choir's voices.
The choir will also present Carl Nielsen's “Fynsk Forår” (Springtime in Funen), which will be a delightful contrast. Under the skilful direction of conductor Tim Sandford, the choir and orchestra will present this full and exciting repertoire at Holy Trinity Church in Claygate on Saturday March 23 at 7.30 pm. The choir will be accompanied by an orchestra of accomplished musicians and professional soloists. Gareth Giles, the resident accompanist, will add his virtuosity on organ and piano.
The choir, a vibrant community of around 50 local members, brings a diverse range of voices together for a compelling and resonant musical experience. Their dedication and passion promises to captivate the audience. Claygate Choral Society is thrilled to have been invited to perform the same concert at the Danish Church in Regents Park on Sunday April 21. This underscores the choir's versatility and dedication to spreading the joy of music beyond local boundaries.
If you enjoy singing and would like to join a friendly choir, come along to Friday evening rehearsals at Holy Trinity Church Hall in Claygate. No auditions required! See the website for more details: www.claygatechoralsociety.co.uk
