N E W S & E V E N T S
Our apologies for cancelling our Beethoven Missa Solemnis concert on 7th November, at short notice. Seasonal sore throats and colds among many of the soloists and choir members meant it had become impossible to organise the ensemble. We plan to re-arrange the concert in 2027, the 200th anniversary of Beethoven's death.
David Gostick, our new Director of Music, has some exciting new ideas for next year. David says “ I’m very excited to work with the SCC and its legendary sound. With a background in opera I feel I have a lot in common with the chorus and its passion for its expansive and exciting style”.
Our next concert , directed by David, is on Saturday 3rd April 2027, in St Thomas’s Church Salisbury. In conjunction with the Sonare et Cantare choir from Salisbury’s twinned German city, Xanten, it will form part of the choir’s first international tour, and will feature choral music from English and German musical traditions, It promises to be an unmissable, exuberant occasion. Further details available in the New Year.
