Swiss choir to perform at Leverington
Swiss choir Kantorei will be visiting the UK in October on a Singreise (singing journey). Their aim is to promote liturgical and sacred choral music and their visits are as much about learning about culture, church history and liturgical practices as about singing.
They are performing in St Giles Cathedral in Edinburgh, Little St Mary in Cambridge and – amazingly – just outside West Norfolk in Leverington at 7.30pm on 10th October. Leverington was their choice as a “church off the beaten track”.
The Kantorei’s web site is in German, or click here for a rough translation through Google.
Musical show at Walpole, 27 September
At the end of September, Walpole St Peter’s church present ‘Evelina in Society’, a musical adaptation of Fanny Burney’s ‘Evelina’, the story of an innocent country girl introduced into London Society in the late 18th century.
Howard Skempton at King’s Lynn Festival: last few tickets!
Leading British composer Howard Skempton is appearing in conversation at King’s Lynn Town Hall on Monday 13 July as part of the King’s Lynn Festival. Contemporary Consort will be performing some of his works along with music by other composers.
Members of our junior choir are learning some music by Howard Skempton in preparation for our July concert, and they now have the chance to meet the composer too! The concert is in the early evening (6.15pm) and is expected to be no more than an hour and a quarter, so it provides an ideal opportunity for our younger members.
