‘Come and Sing’ Early Music Workshop Day
Saturday 25th January 2025
This year we are focusing on ‘Chapel Royal Masters of the 17th Century. The workshop explores some of the wonderful music by Chapel Royal musicians of the 17th Century, a significant share of which is given to Orlando Gibbons (the “Palestrina” of English Jacobean music) in this the 400th anniversary of his death.
We include a gorgeous and moving lament by Robert Ramsey on the death of Prince Henry, as well as music by Richard Dering, a leading musician in Queen Henrietta Maria’s private chapel. Finally we cannot but include some of the exquisite music by Henry Purcell from the beginning of his career.
All participants will receive a pdf of the music in Early January via email. Those with tickets including the music booklet will also receive a paper copy on arrival on the day.
Tickets can be found at our Ticketsource Box Office along with all our other events. Link in bio

First Autumn term rehearsal 3rd September
Come and sing with us!
What a wonderful evening singing Steve's exquisitely curated program celebrating nature!
It was truly amazing to have Cecilia attend and listen to us perform her piece, 'A Fancy of Folksongs'. Our tenors and basses were lively sailors, while the sopranos and altos convincingly 'much disappointed' with John.
Tom’s piano playing just sparkled in the sunlight.
We have all become fans of Roth and our French accents have notably improved thanks to the guidance of our chair, Hester!
Grateful to our fantastic supporters for joining us.
Here's to a fantastic summer break for everyone!
Don't forget to come and hear us sing in celebration of our wonderful natural world!
