Programme Note
Winchester Music Club and musicians from Winchester College celebrate the feast day of the patron saint of music, St Cecilia, in the magnificent surroundings of Winchester Cathedral. Celebratory music by the two giants of the late Baroque contrasts with a contemplative prayer by the finest English composer of the 20th century. A quartet of exciting soloists will be supported by the Music Club’s expert orchestra, under the direction of David Thomas.
