St John’s Church, Beeston
Alex Robinson conductor
The Music:
This Festival Chorus will be singing the scrumptious choruses from Handel’s Acis and Galatea and Rameau’s Castor et Pollux, two towering 18th century dramatic works for the stage, performed in the King’s capital by his most esteemed musicians. Evoke the flowing waters and inspire the shepherdess in Handel’s London, then mourn the death of great heroes and explore the horrors of the underworld in Rameau’s Paris. Don’t miss this bombastic celebration of the giants of early opera! Also featuring music by Lully and Purcell, you’ll get a thorough dose of royal pomp and majesty.
The Performers:
The Nottingham Festival Chorus is Music for Everyone’s flag-ship choir, a large-scale four-part chorus performing major classical and twentieth-century works, with the Nottingham Concert Orchestra. There are three intensive and highly enjoyable events per year, from a one day workshop to a full weekend course and concert. The concert will be conducted by Artistic Director Alex Robinson.
