WOKINGHAM Choral Society is preparing for its summer concert later this month.
The theme is Favourite Operas and Musical Choruses, and will include Purcell’s Dido’s Lament and Verdi’s Chorus of the Hebrew Slaves as well as his drinking song from La Traviata.
The programme will also include songs from the musicals including Carousel and Oliver!, as well as a medley of Andrew Lloyd Webber songs.
The choir’s musical director is Cathal Garvey, who has previously worked with several opera comings including Grange Park Opera.
They will be accompanied by George De Voil, and a soprano soloist.
The concert takes place at All Saints Church in Wiltshire Road from 7.30pm on Saturday, June 17. It will be the first event to take place in the newly refurbished buildings.
