Part of the Whiddon Autumn Festival 2024
We conclude the festival by bringing together all our resident performers in an enchanting celebration of Folk Song.
Featuring music originating all over the British Isles and beyond, Freddie Crowley will lead Corvus Consort in choral folksong arrangements by Benjamin Britten, Simon Carrington, Harry Baker and Nathan James Dearden (last year's WAF Composer-in-Residence), as well as Gustav Holst's lovely Six Choral Folksongs, Op. 36, in celebration of Holst's 150th year in 2024. The programme will also feature another world premiere from our Composer-in-Residence Sun Keting, written specially for this concert.
We also look forward to a very special performance from our Come&Sing Choir, featuring songs learned earlier in the day as part of our Come&Sing Workshop, open to members of the community from any and all musical backgrounds.
