The Chaplaincy is a part of the Church of England in the Diocese in Europe and has had a choral tradition that continues to this day\, with choristers being trained under the Royal College of Church Music system.\nThere are three churches in the Chaplaincy\, Utrecht\, Zwolle and Groningen\, with two having choirs that sing in the Anglican tradition. We sing at all services and festivals such as Nine Lessons and Carols and in other churches in Utrecht and The Netherlands as ambassadors outside the church.\nFor some summer months\, they travel to England and this year\, a group of 16 singers will come to St John’s to sing Choral Evensong on Friday 25th July at 5.30pm. This is a part of a tour that includes Wells Cathedral and Sherborne Abbey.\nThe Evensong will be a traditional Choral Anglican service\, based on the Book of Common Prayer. It will include an Introit\, the Canticles\, Psalm\, Preces and Responses\, Hymns and an Anthem.\nThe choir is led by the Director of Music and composer\, Freek Elbers and the organist will be Charlie Gurnham\, Assistant Music Director\, Sherborne Abbey.\n Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly…\n singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs\, with thankfulness in your hearts to God.\n Colossians 3:16 URL:https://tapa.org.uk/event/choral-evensong-3/ LOCATION:St John the Evangelist Church\, Taunton\, Park Street\, Taunton\, Somerset\, TA1 4DG\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Music - Choral ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://tapa.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2025/03/IMG_0534-scaled.jpeg ORGANIZER;CN="St John the Evangelist Church%2C Park Street%2C Taunton":MAILTO:french.michaelfrench@gmail.com GEO:51.0133012;-3.1091756 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=St John the Evangelist Church Taunton Park Street Taunton Somerset TA1 4DG United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Park Street:geo:-3.1091756,51.0133012 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250726T190000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250726T213000 DTSTAMP:20260417T183050 CREATED:20240801T200516Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250418T111800Z UID:10013254-1753556400-1753565400@tapa.org.uk SUMMARY:Somerset Chamber Choir Summer Concert - Summer Gold DESCRIPTION:Let Brass & Voices Resound!\nGloria – John Rutter\n“Son of God” Mass – James Whitbourn\nSummae Trinitati – James MacMillan\nAve Regina – Cecilia McDowall\nUbi Caritas – Paul Mealor\nGod is gone up – Gerald Finzi \nFeaturing Somerset Chamber Choir – Music Director Andrea Brown\nBones Apart & Friends\nRachael Parvin – Soprano Saxophone\nSimon Hogan – Organ URL:https://tapa.org.uk/event/somerset-chamber-choir-summer-concert-2/ LOCATION:Wells Cathedral\, Cathedral Green\, Wells\, Somerset\, BA5 2US\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Music - Choral,Music - Orchestral,Music - Recital GEO:51.2107146;-2.6445615 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=Wells Cathedral Cathedral Green Wells Somerset BA5 2US United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Cathedral Green:geo:-2.6445615,51.2107146 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250727T183000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250727T220000 DTSTAMP:20260417T183050 CREATED:20250605T072341Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250605T072341Z UID:10013347-1753641000-1753653600@tapa.org.uk SUMMARY:The Magic Flute DESCRIPTION:We have joined with the Bluebirds Opera Company to perform this fantastic version of Mozart’s Magic Flute URL:https://tapa.org.uk/event/the-magic-flute-2/ LOCATION:St Peter and St Paul\, North Curry\, Church Road\, North Curry\, Taunton\, Somerset\, United Kingdom CATEGORIES:Music - Opera/Operetta GEO:51.0238726;-2.9719588 X-APPLE-STRUCTURED-LOCATION;VALUE=URI;X-ADDRESS=St Peter and St Paul North Curry Church Road North Curry Taunton Somerset United Kingdom;X-APPLE-RADIUS=500;X-TITLE=Church Road\, North Curry:geo:-2.9719588,51.0238726 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=Europe/London:20250808T120000 DTEND;TZID=Europe/London:20250808T133000 DTSTAMP:20260417T183050 CREATED:20241025T125811Z LAST-MODIFIED:20250403T171106Z UID:10013298-1754654400-1754659800@tapa.org.uk SUMMARY:Lunchtime Concert - Love\, Lust\, Rejection and Friendship DESCRIPTION:Eleanor Coton\, soprano\nRussell Oakley\, tenor\nSam Baker\, accompanist \nEllie and Russell will explore different relationships throughout opera\, with some popular duets and arias.They are regular soloists with Somerset Opera and together with Sam as accompanist the three will be guaranteed to keep us entertained throughout the concert. \nCollection in aid of The Migraine Trust and St John’s Church. \n Doors open at 12.00pm\, performance starts at 12.45pm.

Local musician and composer\, Julian Breeze has arranged the Star Wars Suite which the Orchestra is delighted to perform again. Leave your Lightsaber ™ at home and sit back and enjoy this wonderful music. \nDarragh Morgan is a hugely impressive Irish violinist who has delighted audiences all over the world. It is our turn in Taunton to enjoy the magic of his playing as he performs the beautiful\, though much neglected\, Violin Concerto by E.J. ‘Jack’ Moeran. Do not miss this rare opportunity to be captivated by this sparkling music brought to life by the Somerset County Orchestra and the superb violinist Darragh Morgan. \nGustav Holst became fascinated with astrology on a visit to Majorca in 1913\, to the extent that it developed into a lifelong interest. He wrote The Planets Suite between 1914 and 1917 with each movement named after a planet in our Solar System. The music represents the astrological character of the planets rather than their physical attributes. Whichever is your favourite movement\, you will love becoming reacquainted with this popular interpretation of The Planets.
