Autumn Concert
Saturday 8th November at 7:30pm
St Nicolas Church, Bookham
On November 8th we will celebrate the life of St Nicolas in St Nicolas church. The programme features master works from three different eras: baroque, classical and modern, a musical tour through history.
Monteverdi’s Beatus Vir (1630) is a vibrant dance-like setting of Psalm 112. 150 years later Haydn wrote his elegant mass setting for the feast day of St Nicolas, the original Father Christmas. Another 200 years on, Britten’s St Nicolas brought an inventive, dramatic account of the saint’s life. We welcome our soloists and string quartet to help us celebrate in St Nicolas church.
