SUMMARY:Musical Meditations for Lent
DESCRIPTION:The Wilbye Quartet have waited a long time to have the opportunity to present their programme designed to prepare us for Lent.  Their programme is to include Chorales from Bach St Matthew Passion and works by Victoria\, Byrd\, Morley\, Tchaikovsky and Bruckner.   \nThe four voices formed into The Wilbye Quartet during Covid restrictions when larger numbers were unable to meet.  They enjoyed themselves so much that they have continued to rehearse  and enjoy performing music both sacred and secular in the South West. \nJane Cresswell – soprano\nLynn Carter – alto\nRoger Bates – tenor\nSimon Davies – bass \nAll are welcome to attend this concert.  Entry will be free but there will be a retiring collection for people to show their appreciation. \nTea and Cakes will be served after the performance.

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.
