Programme Note

The William Byrd Singers invite you to our celebration of springtime and summer!

Come and hear popular favourites such as "Now is the month of maying" and "White-flowering days" together with Moeran's "Songs of Springtime" and Britten's "Flower Songs". Our in house piano duo will delight you with movements from Walton's "Facade" and there will be other vocal and instrumental solos.

Keen singers are also invited to join our workshop day on 2 July to sing Tallis' "Spem in alium" and Campion's "Never weather-beaten sail" with our dynamic musical director Keith Orrell.

We look forward to seeing you there!
