Musical Garlands

Glorious music from two choirs to raise the spirits and soothe the soul

Add to my Calendar 12-11-2021 19:00 12-11-2021 21:00 36 Musical Garlands Pearsall’s haunting Lay a Garland inspired the theme for this autumn evening of grand choral set pieces interspersed with atmospheric miniatures. Rousing marches from Vivaldi and Wagner contrast with lovers’ sighs from Rutter and Giordano; and we glimpse the Northern Lights, shimmering ethereally with the sounds of musical glasses. Vaughan Williams and Grainger give us folk-song arrangements and there are popular pieces from Sondheim, G&S and showtime.
