The Flute Choir was busy in rehearsal this afternoon, preparing a feast of festive favourites to perform at the ‘Watch This Space’ event next Wednesday.
Alongside a selection of carols, there will also be music by Bach and Tchaikovsky in the programme. Most of the rehearsal, however, was spent working out what Christmas jumpers the group will be wearing from a well-known high street clothing retailer.
Well, it’s important to get the little details right…
Come and hear them next Wednesday on the foyer-stage, 1.10pm, admission free!
The players were working on sections of Handel’s Messiah, as well as Vivaldi’s ‘Winter’ with soloist Elina Hakanen, developing some of those rigorous and dramatic tutti sections alongside the more lyrical central movement. The group is also preparing Vivaldi’s Double Oboe Concerto with soloists second-year Jonathan Butten and lecturer in BioSciences, Dan Lloyd (pictured).
