Winchester based Chamber Choir, Southern Voices present a fabulous, light, summer concert in St Peter’s, Stockbridge SO20 6HF at 7.30pm on 8 July.
The programme is a summer fizz of madrigals, folksongs and toe-tapping jazz – including : Little Jazz Madrigals by Bob Chilcott; Songs & Sonnets from Shakespeare by George Shearing and Three Elizabethan Part Songs by Vaughan Williams.
Two very special musicians provide accompaniment: Nicholas Sawley (Head of Keyboard, Winchester College) and Alastair Hume (found member of the King’s Singers). The choir’s brilliant new conductor Jamal Sutton will be in charge.
Jamal opens the concert with four well known Elizabethan madrigals : ‘Now is the month of Maying’; ‘Weep, O mine eyes’; ‘O that the learned poets’ and ‘Fire! Fire!’. Later in the programme these madrigals are exactly repeated … but this time arranged by Bob Chilcott to some very modern jazz vibes ! A perfect programme for a summer’s evening light entertainment.
The choir are well established in Winchester and the South and 2024 marks their 40th Anniversary year. See the choir’s website:
