Three instant classics from the 21st Century\, including settings of Longfellow and e e cummings\, will complete what we hope will be an afternoon to inspire us all.

SUMMARY:The Mikado
DESCRIPTION:For their March 2019 tour\, Somerset Opera present the timeless Gilbert and Sullivan classic\, The Mikado or\, The Town of Titipu. This timeless and much-loved classic first premiered at London’s Savoy Theatre in 1885 and has held the stage constantly ever since. \nNanki-Poo\, the son of the Mikado of Japan\, has fled his father’s palace when commanded to marry Katisha\, an elderly lady of his father’s court. Disguised as “a second trombone” he joins the Titipu Town Band\, where he first encounters and falls in love with the beautiful Yum-Yum\, the ward of Ko-Ko\, the town tailor to whom she is\, unfortunately\, betrothed. Ko-Ko however\, finds himself condemned to death for flirting (strictly prohibited by the Mikado’s law). To counteract this\, he is raised to the rank of Lord High Executioner\, the townspeople arguing that as Ko-Ko is next in line to be beheaded no one else can be unless he executes himself. Eventually\, all ends happily\, but not until the various characters have extracted themselves from numerous difficult situations along the way. \nJoin Somerset Opera for an evening of fun and laughter as we tour to 8 venues in Somerset this March. Please visit the Somerset Opera website for more details as they become available. \nAfternoon tea will be served during the interval.

SUMMARY:Somerset Chamber Choir Concert - Rachmaninov All-night Vigil (Vespers)
DESCRIPTION:Somerset Chamber Choir\nRichard Laing – Conductor/Violin\nAnita D’Attellis – Piano \nA candlelit performance of hauntingly beautiful settings of the Russian Orthodox liturgy\, with evocative poetry and timeless classics for violin and piano\, enhanced by projected iconography and lighting. \nArguably the greatest choral music ever written by a Russian and one of the finest choral works in the entire repertoire\, Sergei Rachmaninov’s All-night Vigil (Vespers) is a tour-de-force of stunning virtuosity and extreme pathos. Featuring 15 exquisite sections corresponding to the sequence of the Russian Orthodox liturgy\, the All-night Vigil divides the choir into 11 vocal parts and features some of the lowest bass parts ever written. \nThis candlelit performance of Rachmaninov’s setting of the Russian Orthodox all-night liturgical sequence of Vespers\, Matins and First Hour will be immensely atmospheric occasion enhanced with iconography and coloured lighting projected onto the stark white walls of the chapel. It promises to be a treat both for eyes as well as ears! \nInterspersed throughout the concert will be evocative poetry readings to complement the Russian Orthodox theme\, together with three achingly beautiful arrangements of timeless classics for violin and piano – Rachmaninov’s 18th variation from Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini\, Vocalise and Prayer from Piano Concerto No.2 – each of which has the power to inspire refection on sacred Russian texts. \nProgramme Details – Rachmaninov All-night Vigil (Vespers) \n• All-night Vigil (Vespers) – Sergei Rachmaninov (1873-1943)\n• Rhapsody on a Theme of Paganini\, Op. 43 – Sergei Rachmaninov (1873-1943)\n• Vocalise – Sergei Rachmaninov (1873-1943)\n• Prayer – Sergei Rachmaninov (1873-1943) \nTickets: £18\, 15\, (reserved)\, & £11 (unreserved). Children/students half-price \nTicket Booking link -https://www.ticketsource.co.uk/boxoffice/venueplan/zVFTqClXOlbz

SUMMARY:Concert by Somerset Chamber Choir - A Musical Epiphany
DESCRIPTION:Somerset Chamber Choir \nHelen Lunt ‘cello\nRichard Pearce organ\nGraham Caldbeck conductor \nA Musical Epiphany \nBeautiful seasonal music performed by CandlelightMusic by: Palestrina\, Parsons\, H. Praetorius\, Dering\, Scheidt\, Byrd\, Sweelinck\, Weelkes\, Cornelius\, Warlock\, Howells\, Poulenc\, Edmundson\, Mathias\, Bennett\, Will Todd & Ola Gjeilo \nOur New Year concert will be held on the day following the Feast of the Epiphany – that time of year which marks the visit of the Three Wise Men (or Magi\, or Kings) to honour the baby Jesus in the stable at Bethlehem. \nInstead of gifts of gold\, frankincense and myrrh\, we shall present a fascinatingly rich and varied programme of seasonal music\, stretching from the 16th & 17th centuries to the present day – with old favourites to be enjoyed and some exciting new and unfamiliar music to be discovered. \nMusic from these shores forms the core of the programme\, but music from France\, Germany\, Holland\, Italy\, Norway and Canada is also included\, thereby making the evening a truly international celebration. \nOne of our sopranos\, Helen Lunt\, will leave the ranks for one piece to perform with the choir on the ‘cello; and we are again joined by our regular virtuoso organist\, Richard Pearce. There will be several opportunities for the audience to join in with the singing\, too. For everyone present we hope that this event will truly prove to be A Musical Epiphany. \nTickets £18; £15; £11 from Taunton Visitor Centre Market House\, Fore St\, Taunton TA1 1JD
