Epiphany Concert
2026-01-31 11:27 (America/Los_Angeles) | Motcombe Church, Shaftesbury, SP7 9NT
What a fabulous time we had in Motcombe, Dorset this weekend, reprising our Shepherds and Kings programme for Epiphany. We all fell in love with this beautiful village, church and our wonderful hosts and audience. We were even treated to canapés, a delicious post-concert feast (that salted caramel roulade 😋💭) and wine - what an occasion! And the singing was pretty good too 😇😍. Terrific to have Simon Dinsdale with us for organ and piano accompaniment, plus special guest instrumentals from Patrick Moore and Louise Hill on bass guitar and violin for one energetic piece! Always remembering Katie J, who made this very special connection for us ❤️ Programme (PDF) - The Shepherd's Pipe Carol - John Rutter - My Lord has Come – Will Todd - Star of the East – Gordon Thornett - The Three Kings – Jonathan Dove - Sopranos: Miranda Bradshaw and Vicky Mason - The Shepherds' Farewell – Hector Berlioz - Quelle est cette Odeur – Trad.
