Hay Madrigals Consort of Voices and Instruments
Conducted by Paul Sweeting, Hay Madrigals will perform a mixture of Christmas music and non-Christmas music. A lovely Missa Brevis by Valentin Rathgeber, who was a contemporary of JS Bach, will be performed with our full consort of voices, violins, bass viol and chamber organ. There will also be an Ave Maria by Michael Haydn and a Nativitatem Domini by the French baroque composer Charpentier, all with full voices and orchestra. An aria from Handel's Messiah will be sung with strings and organ. As has become our custom, the concert will open with an organ piece played by renowned organist Richard Williams.
Do stay after the concert for a delicious selection of homemade Christmas-season cakes, tea, coffee or wine.
