In Praise of Spring

North Cotswold Chamber Choir

Join the North Cotswold Chamber Choir, conductor George Parris, and acclaimed pianist, Susie Allan, in celebrating Spring — new life, light, and abundance. Beginning with a rarely-heard masterpiece by Ethel Smyth, their concert will continue with exquisite European rarities by Lili Boulanger, Johannes Brahms and Wilhelm Stenhammar, and British springtime classics from Britten, Holst and Moeran.

The programme will also reveal how late-Romantic composers imaginatively sought to combine the piano’s expressive voice with choral sound, providing a fitting end to the day of piano classes in the Town Hall.
