THAMES Voyces are going on a musical Channel hop with their latest concert.
The popular chamber choir will feature works by one of England’s best loved composers, Benjamin Britten followed by renowned French musicians, Francis Poulenc and Louis Vierne.
Benjamin Britten was born on St Cecilia’s day, so it is perhaps apt to perform his Hymn to St Cecilia in this concert.
The piece written on a voyage back to this country from the United States in 1942.
As well as that piece, the choir will also sing his Te Deum in C, Rejoice in the Lamb, and Hymn to the Virgin.
The second half will feature Poulenc’s Litanies à la Vierge Noire and Vierne’s Messe Solennelle.
The choir will be conducted by Nick Austin and accompanied by Ben Giddens
The Parish Church of St John the Baptist, Waterloo Road, Crowthorne is the location for the event which starts at 7.30pm on Saturday, April 1.
