Music of the Golden Age and its Story

Message from Lawrence Mortimer, Whittington Music Festival.

'GOLDEN AGE' CONCERT
17TH MARCH WHITTINGTON

A musical history of the Gentlemen of the Chapel Royal will be presented by the excellent 16-strong chamber choir "The Scholars and Gentlemen" in St John the Baptist Church, Whittington, on Saturday March 17th at 7.30pm.

Following the story of the Masters of the King's Music from 1500-1700, around fifteen glorious anthems by Golden Age composers from Tallis and Byrd to Gibbons and Purcell will be sung in the context of a dramatized narrative which makes the period come alive.

Directed by Michael Donkin, Director of Music at St Oswald's Oswestry, the evening promises to be both brilliant and entertaining.

Tickets are £10 at the door, or in advance from Rowanthorn, Old Chapel Court, Oswestry, to benefit Whittington International Chamber Music Festival.
