Previous concerts
Our December 2025 concert was a festive affair, as we were joined by children from Bruton Primary School and St Mary's Children's Choir to perform Cecilia McDowall's Christus Natus Est.
In May 2025 our concert had a summery theme and included numbers from our soloists will be Angela Ashworth (soprano), Geoff Allan (tenor) and Malcolm Parr (baritone) and piano duets by Clare Sydenham and Ashley Marshfield.
In March 2025 we performed an exciting work by Alexander L’Estrange and Joanna Forbes L’Estrange: Freedom! - the Power of Song. We joined with King's School Bruton, Bruton Primary School and other local schools and choirs to perform this powerful and emotive work that celebrates the role singing has played throughout history, bringing people together in times of struggle, upheaval and change.
In 2024 we performed three concerts:
December 2024: Our Christmas concert included festive carols along with Benjamin Britten’s St Nicolas Cantata, with Arturo Serna as guest conductor.
May 2024: Some 16th century pieces, Eric Whitacre’s Seal Lullaby, Gerald Finzi’s My Spirit Sang All Day, Gershwin’s Summertime and songs performed by our own soloists. Ashley Marshfield also joined us to play some piano duets with our deputy musical director, Claire Sydenham.
March 2024: A wonderful community concert performing John Rutter's Feel the Spirit, in collaboration with King's School Bruton pupils, staff and parents, and pupils from Bruton Primary School. The performance was directed by Ashley Marshfield, Director of Music at King's.
Our previous concerts have included a range of traditional and modern choral music from composers such as Elgar, Handel, John Rutter, Ola Gjeilo, Eric Whitacre, Vivaldi and George Gershwin. We have welcomed guest musicians and soloists including Cecilia De Maria, Kirsten Mulcahy, Eliza Talman, the Sir Godfrey Kneller Brass Ensemble and Faelan Sydenham.
