SUMMARY:Winter Concert entitled The Private Music
DESCRIPTION:Winter Concert with Somerset Chamber ChoirWe are thrilled that our Patron\, Dame Emma Kirkby\, will join us for this concert\, to perform a small selection of works from the golden age of English Lute Song. \nProgramme to include: \nBYRD Four-Part Mass\nTALLIS Lamentations of Jeremiah I\nDOWLAND Lute Songs \nEmma Kirkby soprano\nAndrea Brown conductor \nThe Private Music… by composers writing in circumstances of exile – some forced to leave Protestant England for their Catholicism\, some obliged through fear to write music for secret ceremony\, others removed from meaningful positions and effectively exiled in their own homes. \nThis will be the choir’s first concert in the Minster since 1992 and we are very excited to return to such a beautiful building right in the centre of Taunton. For her first concert directing the choir\, Andrea has chosen Renaissance music of singular beauty which is sure to transport the audience to a place of utter calm and tranquillity. \nTickets will go on sale towards the end of this year; Friends of the Choir will enjoy a priority booking period for this concert as usual\, and tickets will be available to the public shortly after that – full details of where and how to buy tickets will be shown here soon. But before tickets go on sale\, you can register your interest in buying tickets by emailing us now through the Contact page here\, then we will contact you after public booking has opened.\nIf you would like to be kept informed of booking dates for this and all future concerts\, please subscribe to our e-mailing list using the form on the Home page\, and for more information about the Friends Scheme\, please click here.
