The days will be longer, the sun a little warmer and our spirits a bit brighter. In celebration, the Concordia Chamber Choir is putting together a spring concert full of joy and exuberance. Our exhilarating centrepiece is Poulenc's Gloria, a masterwork which, with exquisite melodies and breath-taking harmonies, manages to combine buoyant optimism and a deep, spiritual tranquillity. We will also perform Poulenc's 4 Motets, a popular choral work often performed during Holy Week. In an eclectic programme we also include pieces by Debussy, Messiaen and Stravinsky. So come out of hibernation and join us for our first concert of the new season. We promise to put Spring in your heart. All Saints Church, London DD/MM/YYYYDetails
