Add to my Calendar 08-11-2025 19:30 08-11-2025 21:30 36 The Mendelssohns - a family affair Join the North Herts Guild of Singers as we explore all thing Mendelssohn. Felix’s music needs very little introduction - we present possibly his most famous choral work Hear My Prayer (and O for the Wings of a Dove) alongside a beautiful setting of the Ave Maria and a rousing setting of Lauda Sion. His sister Fanny’s music is equally spectacular and is gaining increasing popularity within the classical music sphere. We are excited to perform her unjustly neglected cantata Hiob alongside a selection of her popular Gartenlieder. Conducted by prize winning Harry Bradford.
