Levens Choir concert in Bolton le Sands

“Now May We Singen: A Choral Christmas”

Levens Choir

Join the choir on Saturday 14 December at 7.30 as it celebrates the lead-up to Christmas with a feast of Christmas music.  Led by Gawain Glenton, the choir will pay tribute to the ancient tradition of carolling with a wide range of music, some familiar and others less so.  

The concert, in Holy Trinity Parish Church, will feature an uplifting mixture of music from : English composers Gustav Holst, Herbert Howells, William Walton, Peter Warlock, David Wilcocks, William Walton and Elizabeth Poston; and three contemporary composers Cecilia McDowall, Alex Bullard and Joanna Forbes L’Estrange.  These will be complemented with longer devotional pieces by American composers - Randall Thompson’s Alleluia, Morten Lauridsen’s O Magnum Mysterium and Eric Whitacre’s Lux Aurumque.  

Perfect preparation for Christmas!  This concert will be repeated on Sunday 15th at 3.00 pm at Carver Church, Windermere.

Tickets £15 on-line at levenschoir.net and on the door (subject to availability).  Children and students free.
