A reminder of our final concert in a season celebrating Eric's 40th anniversary as Music Director of the choir.  We are in Hexham Abbey for a programme featuring music by two composers central to Eric: Handel and Vivaldi. 

Handel is represented by the Coronation Anthems, written for George II in 1727 and including Zadok the Priest.

Eric is a specialist in Vivaldi's operas, and the concert included some Vivaldi arias, for which we welcome soprano Mhairi Lawson. The choir also perform two of his sacred works, and finally the Miserere in C minor by Zelenka, a contemporary of the other two composers.

Tickets £15-20 available from the choir website.
