Market Harborough Choral Society Spring Concert
Tickets are selling fast for the choir's next concert on March 28th at the Methodist Church, Northampton Road, Market Harborough when the programme will comprise two pieces, each entitled "Gloria" composed respectively by Antonio Vivaldi and Francis Poulenc.
Choir Chair, Clive Hookins, said "Although the works are similarly entitled, their musical styles could not be more different. The well-known opening of the Vivaldi sets the tone of the work and places it firmly in the baroque era. The Poulenc, on the other hand, is a product of the mid 1950s and demonstrates in many ways the composer's sense of humour and love of life which shines through all his music. We are very grateful to our musical director, Emma Trounson, for putting the two works alongside each other in the same concert."
Tickets are priced at £15 (free to under 12s) and includes a programme and half time refreshments. They can be obtained from members of the choir, from ticketsource.co.uk/harboroughchoral or, subject to availability, on the door on the night.
On Saturday March 14 the choir is holding an event in the Harborough Theatre Lounge in the centre of town giving shoppers a chance to have a break from their activities and relax with the choir in a coffee morning. All are invited. Entry is £2.50 which includes a hot drink and a cake.
