Come Rain or Come Shine - Choral Music for an English Summer

Celebrate the unpredictable beauty of a British summer with the Wooburn Singers on an evocative choral journey through light and shade.

From the refreshing calm of a morning dew to the dramatic intensity of a passing storm, this program captures the quintessential spirit of the season.Directed by Jonathon Cole-Swinard, experience a rich tapestry of English heritage featuring Vaughan Williams beloved Linden Lea , Stanfords ethereal The Bluebird , and the stirring romanticism of Edward Elgar.

The repertoire spans centuries of choral excellence, from the Renaissance mastery of Gibbons to the vivid, modern soundscapes of Eric Whitacres Cloudburst and Bob Chilcotts Weather Report.The ensemble will be joined by solo piano played by Simon Howat for two of classical music's most atmospheric treasures: Chopins"Raindrop" Prelude and Griegs "Summers Eve".Whether we are basking in the "Hymn to the Sun" or seeking shelter from a "torrent in summer", this concert promises a masterful blend of soaring melodies and rhythmic vitality.

Join us for an unforgettable afternoon of music that shines - come rain or come shine.
