NEXT CONCERT

The Egmont Overture portrays the heroic struggle between Count Egmont and Spanish oppression ending with a triumphant conclusion.Mendelssohn’s Calm Sea and Prosperous Voyage paints a seascape from the glassy stillness of motionless ships to the exhilaration of movement and safe arrival. Our final work, Beethoven’s Ninth Symphony, stands as a one of the most ground-breaking works in Western music, from its mysterious opening and its journey through struggle and tension to its triumphant choral conclusion in the final movement, set to Schiller’s Ode to Joy, with its enduring message of hope.

We are delighted to welcome the Congleton and Salford Choral Societies, with Tom Newall as conductor.
