Prestbury Choral Society Summer Concert

Prestbury Choral Society's Summer concert of English music promises to be a very pleasant and enjoyable evening with its eclectic mix of music. This includes John Rutter's The Sprig of Thyme, a collection of traditional British folk songs, from lively, spirited pieces like 'The Bold Grenadier', to more contemplative songs like 'I know where I'm going'. They certainly reveal Rutter's skill in revitalising traditional songs and bringing them to contemporary audiences with his unique arrangements.

The other work, Songs of the Fleet by Charles Villiers Stanford, based on poems by Henry Newbolt, showcases Stanford's skill in setting text to music effectively, with rich harmonies and expressive melodies, capturing different moods and themes related to the sea to create powerful and evocative pieces. This work stands as a poignant tribute to Britain's naval heritage.

Tickets: £12.00 including glass of wine/soft drink. Book by telephone on 07710 722065, via the website www.prestburychoral.uk or pay at the door.
