A feast of predominantly English music for our last concert under the direction of John Holloway. The programme will include Holst’s folk song arrangements, two of Parry’s Songs of Farewell, Irish-born Stanford’s Three Motets, William Harris’s ‘Faire is the Heaven’ and conclude with Vaughan Williams’ Mass in G minor. Some of the music will be performed in Wyck Rissington as part of the celebrations to mark the 750th anniversary of the church. Gustav Holst was organist at Wyck Rissington in the early 1890s and two organ voluntaries by Holst will be performed by Cheltenham organist John Wright.
John Holloway is retiring as musical director of Cantores after 12 years in the post. Cantores have appointed Simon Harper as their new musical director from September.
In aid of repairs to the Nave and Tower. Tickets £25 to include interval drinks and nibbles.
