Programme Note
We welcome back The Maidstone Singers for this concert of music inspired by The Bard interspersed with readings and performances give by Angela Clarke and David Vale. The music dates from the 1600s with Purcell’s If Music be the Food of Love to the present day and the world premiere of three songs by Philip Sawyers, commissioned by the choir. The concert will also include settings of Shakespeare by Matthew Harris, John Rutter and John Tavener, and the beautiful song “One Hand, One Heart” from West Side Story, Leonard Bernstein and Stephen Sondheim’s twentieth-century retelling of Romeo and Juliet. Join us for this wonderful evening of remarkable words and music in the lovely surroundings of St Botolph’s.
