ITALIAN SONGBIRD ARRIVES IN JUNE

Kington Choral (KCS) brings glamour and talent to Kington in June in the form of Italian soprano Silvia Spruzzola, who will be one of the star soloists in Kington Choral’s Summer GEM of a concert in St Mary’s Church, Kington, on Saturday 20th June 2009.  The impressive solo line-up is completed by Scottish baritone Allan Smith and local tenor Michael Clee, accompanied by organist Hilary Norris.  The soloists and 75-strong KCS choir will be conducted by Maureen Twiddy and will perform a triple bill of Gounod’s “St Cecilia Mass”, Elgar’s “From the Bavarian Highlands”, and Moeran’s “Songs of Springtime”.  

E.F. Moeran has strong local connections with Kington so the choice of his beautiful but demanding acapella choral work is extremely appropriate.

Tickets for the concert are £8 (£4 student / child) and include superb refreshments. Available at the door or reserve at 01544 230 319 KCS is a large SATB choral group based in Kington - visit the website kingtonchoral.org.uk for more information.
