WANTAGE CHORAL SOCIETY
WELCOME TO
WELCOME TO WANTAGE CHORAL SOCIETY
We are a thriving mixed voice choir with over 50 members performing three concerts per year. We have a long tradition of combining the classics with contemporary music and selections from operas, stage shows and films
In December 2024, we performed Ceremony of Carols by Benjamin Britten with solo harp accompaniment, Fantasia on Christmas Carols by Ralph Vaughan Williams and other seasonal items.
In March we performed Haydn's Nelson Mass and his motet, Insanae et Vanae Curae together with Evening Hymn by Henry Balfour Gardiner. Our four soloists(above): Mia Serracino-Inglott (Alto), Catherine Hooper (Soprano),Jack Redman (Bass), andToshi Ogita (Tenor), also performed a solo item by composers including Richard Strauss and Roger Quilter.
It was a hugely successful evening. We had a capacity audience who thoroughly enjoyed the concert and for us it was not just a delight to be singing but also to be part of the audience for the very gifted soloists.
Our next concert will be on Saturday 12 July at 7.30pm in Letcombe Regis Village Hall when we will be performing:
McDowall: A Fancy of Folksongs
Rutter: The Sprig of Thyme
Vaughan Williams: Five Mystical Songs
The summer concerts are always popular - a change of pace in the delightful hall and grounds with drinks and nibbles in the interval outside (weather permitting).
