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.
