We’re really looking forward to our next concert! It’s a characteristically wide-ranging concert of a cappella choral music in St Peter & St Paul Church, Great Missenden on the 8th October 2022 at 2.30pm.
The concert will celebrate the 150th anniversary of Ralph Vaughan Williams with several of his works and arrangements along with pieces by other British composers including Finzi, Elgar, Ireland, Paul Mealor and Simon Beattie. In a lighter vein the choir will samba with a glass of Tequila and then plumb the depths of the ocean with a mermaid…
The concert should last about 80 minutes and will be followed by afternoon tea which is included in the very modest ticket price of £10 available at the Door or from Samways in Station Approach. More information from St Peter & St Paul Church here.
