We look forward to the ravishing harmonies in Mealor’s ‘Now sleeps the Crimson Petal’ and the radiant ‘Les Chansons des Roses’ by Morten Lauridsen. The Oratorio Choir will present a wide-ranging tour of pastoral and urban scenes in Bob Chilcott’s ‘Songs and Cries of London Town’ and Cecilia McDowall’s light-hearted ‘A Fancy of Folksongs’. We shall also perform Vaughan Williams famous ‘Serenade to Music’ which will feature soloists from within the choir and showcase our rich tutti choral sound. Matthew Hough will perform Chopin’s Nocturne in C minor (Op. 48, No. 1) and Poulenc’s Nocturne (No. 4 Bal fantôme). There may be one or two  surprises in the programme too!
