This year we are joining with our friends in The Capriol Chamber Orchestra to bring you a selection of much-loved classical pieces and a host of carols to make your Christmas really special.

The programme includes:
– Vivaldi’s Kyrie RV587
– Vivaldi’s Gloria
– Corelli’s Christmas Concerto (selected movements)
… and a host of carols including Bob Chilcott’s  ‘The 12 Days of Christmas’ and Jonathan Trim’s ‘Away in A Manger’.

Vivaldi’s Kyrie, requiring two choirs and two string orchestras, is not often performed and the musical drama it creates is a rare treat. This will be followed by Vivaldi’s better known and very popular Gloria. The Capriol Chamber Orchestra continues the classical theme with Corelli’s Christmas Concerto – a festive masterpiece.

The evening will conclude with a host of carols, including Chilcott’s adventurous and entertaining arrangement of The Twelve Days of Christmas and Jonathan Trim’s wonderful setting of Away in a Manger.

The performance will be directed by Andrew Hopwood and Jonathan Trim and accompanied by Julian Elloway.

The concert will be supporting Mindsong – a local charity reaching out to people with dementia through music and song.

Doors open at 6.45pm for pre-concert drinks and the concert starts at 7.30pm.

Tickets £18.00 (free for under 18’s) available online from ticketsource.co.uk or from M&B Stores, Minchinhampton. Box Office: 0333 666 3366
