James Savage-Hanford – Music Director

Vocalis Chamber Choir

Programme Note

Vocalis warmly invites you to join them for their spring concert of 20th Century English partsongs and poems which will be performed in Knaresborough’s beautiful and ancient parish church.

Conductor James Savage-Hanford has put together a wonderful programme of a cappella music by English composers who are linked by their melodic and lyrical musical style influenced by their love of nature and the English countryside, folksongs and poetry.

The majority of the songs are settings of poems, many by contemporary poets of the composers' time. The sublime music will be interspersed with poetry to complement the music.

Refreshments will be available during the interval.
