Programme Note

The Byrds are back in song after 18 months' silence, with an all English programme to celebrate our delayed 50th anniversary.

Starting with Purcell / Britten's Music for a While, you will also hear Britten's Hymn to St Cecilia and Vaughan Williams' Serenade to Music, pieces dedicated to the power of music which we all welcome back into our lives.

Don't miss TWO premieres: From Harmony, from Heavenly Harmony" a stunning new piece by our current conductor Keith Orrell; and Envoi the last piece by our first conductor the late, legendary Stephen Wilkinson.

We are joined by violinist Savva Sverev accompanied by pianist James Pelham.

Join us for our 50th anniversary celebration!
