Programme Note
Rising star vocalists Ellie Stamp and George Clark are joined by pianist Harry Baker and the Festival String Quartet to perform lyrical songs celebrating flora, fauna and landscape, centred around the hauntingly-beautiful Tree Carols by Sally Beamish. Punctuated with a selection of gorgeous partsongs sung by members of the Corvus Consort, the programme also features a very special guest appearance...
In the middle of the programme we welcome the very special WAF Children's Choir, made up of pupils from four local primary schools who have participated in our schools singing programme. The Children's Choir will sing reimagined versions of local folksongs, created specially for this performance by our 2023 Composer-in-Residence Nathan James Dearden.
This performance will last approximately one hour without interval.
Pre-concert drinks from 5pm.
