Future concerts

Part, Parry, Purcell and Palestrina

7.30pm, Saturday 6 June 2009 - St Bartholomew's Church, Otford

We hope you can join us for an evening of varied choral singing spanning four centuries. The earliest work by Palestrina includes the joyous Exsultate Deo, and his setting of Thou Art Peter from Matthews’ Gospel, Tu es Petrus. Henry Purcell’s My Heart is Inditing for double choir celebrates the coronation of James II which took part in Westminster Abbey in 1685. We move on to a more contemplative and reflective theme with Hubert Parry’s beautifully melodic motets, Songs of Farewell, and a contemporary setting of The Beatitudes by Arvo Part. We are delighted that the organist Iestyn Evans will be joining us for the evening.

Tickets are £10 and will include refreshments which will be served in the newly built church rooms at Otford Church. They will be on sale from the beginning of May and available from the Sevenoaks Bookshop or Cantate Box Office 01732 770570.
