Spring Concert

Our Easter offering this year is a wonderful blend of the old and new:

Rutter wrote the The Gift of Life, in 2015, as a "celebration of life" and a counterpart to his Requiem's reflection on death. We pair it in our programme, not with a requiem but, with the choruses from the passion section of Handel's Messiah, ending with the Hallelujah Chorus.

Two wedding anthems by Welsh composers follow: Let the People Praise Thee, O God, was written in 1981 by William Mathias for the wedding of Prince Charles and Lady Diana Spencer, and Ubi Caritas, by Paul Mealor for the wedding of Prince William and Catherine Middleton.

​Kenneth Bowen
​1932-2018

We are very sorry to have to pass on the sad news that Kenneth Bowen has died. 

Kenneth was our Musical Director for 25 years from 1983 to 2008. It's impossible to put into words how much the Chorale owes to Kenneth, so we won't try to do so here. The best we can do is to say that Ken loved the Chorale and that the Chorale loved Ken. 

Please see some of the tributes to Kenneth here.
