Charity Concert
HAYDN & MENDELSSOHN ANNIVERSARY CONCERT

On Saturday 11th July the Cranmer Company of Singers & Chamber Orchestra will be presenting an exciting concert at Bingham Parish Church, celebrating the anniversaries of Haydn and Mendelssohn in aid of the Gaza Crisis Appeal.

The music will include Haydn’s ‘Little Organ Mass’ (for choir, orchestra, organ and soprano soloist) – this piece has a delightful section for solo organ and a beautiful soprano solo. Our guest organist, Richard Moore, who was the organ scholar at Southwell Minster and is now the organ scholar at St.John’s College, Oxford, will also be the soloist in a stirring Haydn Organ Concerto.

Lovers of Mendelssohn will not be disappointed: the choir and orchestra will be performing his ‘Psalm 42’ which was Mendelssohn’s favourite choral work. This is a wonderful work for choir, orchestra, men’s quartet and soprano solo. We are fortunate to have Celia Gibb as our guest soprano soloist this year, she possesses a truly beautiful voice which will grace both the Haydn and Mendelssohn solos.

Two other very popular works by Mendelssohn will feature on the programme: the exciting orchestral piece, the ‘Hebrides Overture’ (Fingal’s Cave); and ‘Hear my Prayer/ O for the wings of a Dove’ for soprano solo, choir and organ.

The choir and orchestra are from the local area so there are bound to be some faces that Bottesford folk will recognize and the total forces will be conducted by the founder of the Cranmer Company of Singers & Chamber Orchestra, Deborah Davies. These concerts are usually held at Bottesford but this year, due to a clash of dates, it will be at Bingham. We hope to see our Bottesford friends in Bingham, as we value their support greatly.

The concert, which starts at 7.30pm, is in aid of the Gaza Crisis Appeal, a very worthy cause. Whilst tickets will be available at the door, we expect this to be a very popular concert so it would be wise to book tickets in advance. Tickets at £8.00 (adults) or £5.00 (children and those on IS or JSA) will include a glass of wine during the interval and can be booked in advance by phoning 01949 850364 (after 6.00pm) or 01949 851030.
