As the yuletide season approaches, the Northampton Bach Choir is
preparing to present 'A Choral Christmas', a popular event that
promises to fill the air with festive cheer including seasonal
choral pieces and some favourite carols (with opportunity for
audience participation).
Highlights include Gustave Holst's Christmas Day, a choral
fantasy that weaves together well-loved carols into a tapestry of
jubilant harmonies, encapsulating the joy of Christmas, and Gerald
Finzi's In terra pax, a composition that reflects on the
message of peace amidst the backdrop of a war-torn world, offering a
poignant moment of contemplation and hope amid the festive
repertoire.
Other treats include the Christmas Jazz Medley, a festive
fusion of Walking in a Winter Wonderland and Have yourself
a merry little Christmas and the beautiful My Lord has come
by Will Todd.
The choir is delighted once again, to be accompanied by the Bach
Camarata, esteemed chamber orchestra celebrated for its authentic
interpretations of baroque and classical music.
This concert will be at Cripps Hall Theatre on the campus of
Northampton School for Boys, with its comfortable seating (which you
can choose when booking so don't delay!) and ample parking. There's
also the suggestion of mulled wine ...
Where else can you go in Northamptonshire to hear an experienced
choir of 100 with professional soloists, accompanied by a
professional orchestra? You only have to read reviews of previous
concerts to know this promises to be an unforgettable evening to
kick off the festive season in style..
