TWO borough music groups will combine their talents in a concert to raise funds for Just Around the Corner (JAC) and Berkshire Music Trust.
Sing Healthy Wokingham Choir and Berkshire Youth String Ensemble will join forces to perform a concert of music inspired by the texts of Shakespeare.
Their programme will include: Vaughan Williams’ In Windsor Forest, a cantata of five movements, using music from his opera Sir John in Love; and Louise Drewett’s Shakespeare Songs, arranged by the composer for this concert.
The concert will raise money for borough charities JAC and Berkshire Music Trust.
