Our Musical Director is Laurence Blyth and the choir will be joined by an orchestra led by Julie Hill with soloists: Elizabeth Drury, Julian Rippon and Edward Woodhouse...
With its dense chromaticism, intricate counterpoint, and Wagnerian drive sweeping toward a great climax, Metamorphosen is a memorial to a type of music that had been abandoned long before 1945. It succeeds so brilliantly because Strauss at last found a way to address the present with the voice of the past.
With her spine tingling vocals you would be excused for thinking we had wrongly described Miss Gabrielle Aplin’s performance at The Great Hall on Monday night.
But rock she did, with her amazing cover of Miley Cyrus’ ‘ Wrecking Ball’ as well as performing many of her own songs with a rock twist.
As well as catering for rock lovers, Gabrielle did not dissapoint those that had come to see her perform her original classical style vocals belting out her gorgeous hit ‘ The Power of Love’ and many other songs from her ‘ English Rain’ album.

The result was a triumph and critically acclaimed by the press with 5 star...
The Isca Ensemble will be celebrating its Tenth Anniversary in 2013. The Ensemble started as a small string group specialising in performances of Rennaisance and early Romantic repertoire.

We are thrilled that Richard Jenkinson (lead cellist with the City of Birmingham Symphony Orchestra and member of the Dante String Quartet) has accepted our invitation to join us for this very special event. He has been a great friend and supporter of the Ensemble for many...
As a hugely successful opera composer, Handel was commissioned by the grandest patrons of the day to bring his theatrical brilliance and flair to important ceremonial occasions – his four coronation anthems, used at the coronation of every monarch since 1727, are the most famous example
