40th Anniversary Concert
On 28 Sept, we welcome the return of Joe Davies to conduct our 40th Anniversary concert. And in celebration, Joe has arranged Tallis' iconic 40-part 'Spem in alium', with players occupying all corners of the church. It will be memorable.
We will also play Elgar’s fabulous Introduction and Allegro for strings, Stravinsky’s Concerto for Piano and Winds and end with Dvorak’s Symphony no. 6 in D.
