Ambleside & District Choral Society
Christmas Concert
At St Mary’s Church, Ambleside
On 14th December
at 7.30pm
The joy and wonder of Christmas is at the heart of Ambleside & District Choral Society’s Christmas .
The performance begins with Joseph Haydn’s ‘Lord Nelson’ Mass, written in troubled times in 1798, with its dramatic harmonies and powerful melodies.
In the troubled times of our own contemporary world, the simple warmth and humanity of the Nativity story continues to capture our emotions, often through the words and music of songs and carols. Our concert will include Vaughan Williams’ ‘Fantasia on Christmas Carols’ and the haunting melodies of ‘I Wonder as I Wander’, ‘Ubi Caritas’ and Bruckner’s poignant ‘Locus Iste’.
The Choir will be joined by Soloists Laurie Ashworth, Sarah Jillian Cox, Nicholas Hurndall Smith and Paul Im Thurn, with organist Peter Noke, who will all perform under the baton of Musical Director and Conductor, Marco Giudici.
Tickets are £15 including glass of wine, and £7 for under-21s, available online at www.amblesidechoralsociety.org.uk or from choir members.
