VOXCETERA CHAMBER CHOIR presents SPRING’S SWEET VOICE: CHORAL MUSIC FROM BYRD TO BACHARACH Saturday 24th May, 7.30pm at Holy Trinity Church, Blythburgh Following their triumphant concert last Spring, London based chamber choir Voxcetera will return to the “Cathedral of the Marshes” in Blythburgh on May 24th to share a programme of choral music featuring compositions by Mozart, Byrd, Brahms, Elgar, Ola Gjeilo, Karl Jenkins, John Rutter and more. The concert features both traditional European sacred music, and secular treats including selections of Elgar’s charming Songs from the Bavarian Highlands and John Rutter’s haunting arrangements of folk songs from his collection The Sprig of Thyme. There will also be work by the popular and prolific choral composer Paul Ayres including his version of Burt Bacharach’s (They long to be) Close To You. Jane Hopkins, Voxcetera’s founding conductor, says: “This year’s programme is full of variety – you’ll hear music that is moving, uplifting exhilarating, plaintive, and just plain fun. There’s something for everyone to enjoy.” Founded in 2009, Voxcetera has performed at venues across the capital including the prestigious St Martin-in-the-Fields, St John’s Smith Square and the South Bank Centre and at events for the British Library and Science Museum, as well as further afield in the UK and overseas. This concert is the choir’s fourth visit to Suffolk, having also performed in Newmarket and Earl Soham. The choir will be accompanied by Paul Ayres on piano and organ. Tickets are available now from www.voxcetera.co.uk Tickets £15. Under 18s £7.50.
