The Advent Concert: almost sold out
Saturday 6th December
Time 7.30pm
We are delighted to welcome the choir of the Queen’s College, Oxford, under their Director Owen Rees. The choir was recently hailed as ‘one of the world’s most renowned choirs’ by Classic FM and the Director Owen Rees’s interpretations of choral music have been described as ‘revelatory and even visionary’ (BBC Music Magazine). The mixed-voice choir consists of around thirty singers, including Choral Scholars who are students of the College, Choral Exhibitioners from other colleges, and professional Lay Clerks.
They have a remarkable catalogue of recordings, broadcasts and performances of repertoire that spans the baroque to the contemporary; a selection of pieces from the programme are here – but there’s more for you on the night, including mulled wine, non-alcoholic mulled wine, and mince pies.
And for anyone who would like to eat a light supper before the concert, The Three Daggers is again offering their pre concert menu, below. When booking please mention the Edington Arts concert so they will be aware of your deadline. Their phone number is 01380 830940.
