There are just three days to get hold of your tickets for our truly festive concert on Saturday, 7
th May. If you haven’t bought tickets, you should do so now. They are selling fast. This is the kind of concert we can only present once in a while, not least because of the expense but also because of the huge amount of organisation and rehearsal needed to present this kind of repertoire.
We have chosen an ambitious programme that will thrill you as much as it has thrilled us in the preparation. You may recognise the opening of Charpentier’s great
Te Deum, which starts the concert as the theme tune for the Eurovision Song Contest, but we hope what follows will rise to heights that competition could never reach!
With an orchestra of some of the finest young baroque players and five young soloists who are already breaking into the top of their field, we guarantee an evening to remember.
Four major masterpieces from the baroque era jostle with three small scale pieces that are also masterpieces in their own right. Charpentier, Rameau and Mondonville take us to the glittering courtly circles of Kings Louis XIV and XV: Purcell’s most popular works, the
Te Deum and
Jubilate in D, together with two short absolute gems, to the London of William and Mary, the era of Wren, Newton and Pepys.
Don’t miss out!
