Andover Chamber Choir celebrates the spring season with their concert, ‘Thine be the Glory: Choral Favourites for an Eastertide Celebration’.
While Easter Sunday may have passed, the fifty days of Eastertide are in full flow, and the choir’s latest programme is designed to keep that flame of joy burning bright. “Easter Sunday is the start of a whole season of celebration and renewal,” says Musical Director, Lucy Hole. “I wanted a programme that captures the feeling of spring arriving and the continued joy and importance of the resurrection.”
The concert aims to showcase the diverse textures of the Easter story – from quiet moments of individual devotion to the rousing collective joy of full choir and organ. The programme features choral favourites and organ classics, celebrating composers who have defined the British choral tradition. These include Vaughan Williams’ ‘O clap your hands’, Widor’s ‘Toccata’, the world-famous ‘Hallelujah Chorus’, and the iconic hymn from which the concert takes its name, Handel’s ‘Thine be the Glory’.
The concert takes place at 7.30 pm Saturday, 18th April at St Michael and All Angels’ Church, West Andover, SP10 3BB. Tickets are £15 on the door or £12 in advance from The Lights (in person and online) or through choir members. Under 16s are admitted free. Interval refreshments included in ticket price.
Proceeds are in aid of Andover Young Carers, providing vital support and respite to young carers in Andover and the surrounding areas.
