The Bridgewater Sinfonia concert on Saturday is an ideal concert for young people, because the programme will feature Britten's "Young Person’s Guide to the Orchestra". Originally composed for a 1946 educational documentary film, this piece takes a melody by Purcell played by different sections of the orchestra, showing off the distinctive sound of each family of instruments - woodwind, brass, strings, and percussion. What's more, tickets for under-18s are free!
Book online - adults £20 (or £22 on the door):

We're very much looking forward to Berkhamsted Choral Society's performance of Brahms’ German Requiem in St Peter’s Church in just 10 days' time. This is one of the most beautiful and spiritual works of the 19th century. Drawing on a range of texts from the German Lutheran bible that focus on spiritual healing, it was written to give comfort to the living rather than serve as a prayer for the dead. The programme with English Philharmonia will also include Mozart's Serenade no. 6 in D major Serenata notturna.
