London Concord Singers 40th Anniversary
Labels:
performance
Having got my own concert out of the way, we spent Sunday evening stuffing envelopes to send information to ex-members of London Concord Singers about the choir's 40th anniversary concert. The choir is 40 this year and will be celebrating with a concert at St. Giles Cripplegate on Saturday November 18th. The choir has a tradition whereby former members return to sing with us for one work in celebratory programmes. This time the work will be Handel's Birthday Ode for Queen Anne, with orchestral accompaniment, which is unusual for us. The programme will also include Mozart's Maria Mater Gratiae and a new piece by me, specially written for the occasion.
