Hay Madrigals: A Candle-lit Concert of Christmas Music
After their summer performance of the Vivaldi Gloria to a packed church, Hay Madrigals will be back in Christmas mode - this time with not only voices, but also violins, a violone (a double-bass viol) and chamber organ. We aim to enchant you with a candle-lit performance of one of Haydn's early short masses, Missa Brevis Hob.XXII:1, plus lovely Christmas music by Buxtehude and Handel, all with full choir and instruments, and with Mediaeval and Renaissance carols by solo voices and spinet in-between. Renowned organist Father Richard Williams will once again open the concert with one of his gorgeous organ pieces. Concert: Tuesday 21st December, 3.30 to 4.30; home-made festive refreshments including a choice of cakes, tea, coffee or wine, served afterwards.
FREE entry with a retiring collection.
Concert: 3.30-4.30
