Programme Note
A joyful celebration for the Christmas season by the exceptional female singers of Seraphim, whose concerts have thrilled audiences at home and abroad. In the beautiful surroundings of The Orangery at Orwell Park School, led by their charismatic director, Vetta Wise, they will perform their choice of music to delight and intrigue the audience with gems ranging from a medieval pilgrim song to the Ceremony of Carols (to commemorate the 40th anniversary of Britten's death on this very day) to a charming carol written by Jonathan Rutherford, who will accompany the ensemble. A "bubbly" reception will precede the concert while mulled wine and mince pies will be served at the end of the performance. These are included in the ticket price.
