Our spring concert is a whole day’s worth of music in just a couple of hours! We will be singing music related to times of day. The first half will feature morning, noon and afternoon music, and the second half will create the calm of an evening. We will be singing music by Arvo Part, Rheinberger, Saint-Saens, Whitacre, Rutter, Chilcott, the King’s Singers, Will Todd and others, and even an excerpt from Les Miserables! This concert will wake you up, keep you going and then get you ready for bed, all in the space of an evening.

St Mary’s in Henley is a lovely venue that we haven’t visited for a while, further details above.
