Te
Deum - Andrew Carter
The
Sprig of Thyme - John Rutter
Andrew
Carter's music is performed worldwide. As a composer and choir director
Andrew Carter has worked extensively in the United States and Australia/New
Zealand. Te Deum, written for the American
Lutheran Church, makes an
exhilaratingly effective choral work for choirs that have the opportunity to
combine with a children's choir. We are
very pleased to welcome once again the QES Singers to fulfil this role.
The Sprig of Thyme offers
a delightful selection of traditional songs of the British Isles arranged by
John Rutter, who has been described as the most successful and
well-known composer of choral music in recent British history. This collection illustrates fully
the infectiousness of his melodies and his consummate craftsmanship.
The concert will feature soprano soloist Tracie
Penwarden and she will also conduct ‘OttoRegazze', a singing group made up of
talented singers from Queen Elizabeth School, Kirkby Lonsdale. Both pieces will
be accompanied by a chamber orchestra made up from local professional musicians
conducted by Ian Allan.
Tickets:
Admission at the door or tickets in advance from choir members £10 (accompanied
children free,) to include wine and soft drinks.
