The Blenheim Singers, praised for their choral music “at the highest level”, will be coming to Bath to perform some of the finest a cappella singing for one night only on Saturday 6th May.
Bath Recitals will present a glorious programme celebrating the composers and writers who flourished under the patronage of Queen Elizabeth I.
The arts were central to her long and peaceful reign and composers such as William Byrd and writer William Shakespeare both benefited from her support.
The concert at the Old Theatre Royal from 7.30pm will feature some of the finest a cappella singing in a celebration of the music and poetry of the period together with some more contemporary works inspired by the spirit of the age.
With its unique link to Blenheim Palace, the seat of the Duke of Marlborough and birthplace of Sir Winston Churchill, the Blenheim Singers shares the vision of the Palace’s UNESCO status by building “peace into the minds of men and women” through musical performances of the highest level.
Following their highly successful 2016 tours to Germany and France, audiences continue to be enthralled by the passionate and authentic musical experience presented by this group.
Bath Recitals chairman David Gregory said: “We are very excited to welcome the Blenheim Singers to Bath.”
Tickets are £15 full price, £14 for Discovery cardholders and £5 for students. They are available at www.bathrecitals.com or the Bath Box Office on 01225 463362.
