The much-loved Thames Head Singers and Capriol Chamber Orchestra present a rich and engaging mix of classical and Christmas music to welcome you to the festive season.
Vivaldi’s Kyrie, requiring two choirs and two string orchestras, is not often performed and the musical drama it creates is a rare treat. This will be followed by Vivaldi’s better known and very popular Gloria. The Capriol Chamber Orchestra continues the classical theme with Corelli’s Christmas Concerto – a festive masterpiece.
The evening will conclude with a host of carols, including Chilcott’s adventurous and entertaining arrangement of The Twelve Days of Christmas and Jonathan Trim’s wonderful setting of Away in a Manger.
The performance will be directed by Andrew Hopwood and Jonathan Trim and accompanied by Julian Elloway.
The concert will be supporting Mindsong – a local charity reaching out to people with dementia through music and song.
Doors open at 6.45pm for pre-concert drinks and the concert starts at 7.30pm.
Tickets £18.00 (free for under 18’s) available online from ticketsource.co.uk or from M&B Stores, Minchinhampton.
