Beautiful a cappella music
There’s something about the sound of voices that’s uplifting for the soul. That’s why our spring concert is a programme of beautiful a cappella (unaccompanied) songs from a wide range of composers – from Schumann to Whitacre.
We’ll also be joined by internationally renowned organist, Stephen Farr. Stephen has held appointments at Christ Church Cathedral, Oxford, Winchester Cathedral, and Guildford Cathedral, where he was Organist and Master of the Choristers from 1999 to 2007. He has also held positions at Worcester College, Oxford and Corpus Christi College, Cambridge.
Join us for this wonderful concert that puts the choir front and centre, introducing you to new favourites and old friends.
