Programme Note
A SUMMER PASTORAL WITH EPSOM CHAMBER CHOIR
Epsom Chamber Choir invites you to join them to welcome in Summer with a programme of choral music celebrating the British countryside (with just a brief detour into Bavaria).
Allow Vaughan Williams to lead you into Windsor Forest with an adaptation of his opera Sir John in Love, based on Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives of Windsor. Elgar will then take you to Bavaria with From the Bavarian Highlands to entertain you with a set of songs inspired by his holiday there.
Back in England, listen to a selection of folk song arrangements by Bairstow and Mealor before travelling to Scotland and Loch Lomond. The whole programme is summed up in a duet for flute and piano by Richard Rodney Bennett, played by choir members Stella Baylis and Stephen Ridge and entitled Summer Music.
This highly-regarded choir will be directed by the choir’s award-winning conductor Jack Apperley in what will sadly be his farewell concert with the choir and will be accompanied by pianist Benjamin Frost.
