Bach and Pancakes, 7pm, Shrove Tuesday, 21st February
"Bach and Pancakes”, Shrove Tuesday, 21st February, 7pm, Holy Trinity, Sloane Square: Holy Trinity’s choral scholars and friends perform some of Bach’s greatest hits - the motets Lobet den Herrn and Der Geist hilft, arias such as Vergnügte Ruh, the Toccata and Fugue in D minor on HT's thundering organ. There will be 30-40 minutes of music, after which you will be invited to join one of London’s larger pancake parties, sitting at a table if you would like.
You will will be offered a pancake or two, as well as a drink – a glass of wine or beer (in the case of the latter, German beer, in keeping with the music) or something non-alcoholic. Yes, this is pre-Lenten indulgence. The evening will finish with a performance of Jesu, Joy of Man’s desiring, for which you will be invited to join the choral scholars in song. The evening will finish at around 8:45pm. You are welcome to come on your own, or in a group – you could even splash out on a table for 4 (£50) or 8 (£100) – why not use HTSS as your meeting point between north and south.
Upcoming Events
Duruflé Requiem – Twickenham Choral – 7pm
Join Twickenham Choral for a moving performance of Maurice Duruflé's Requiem in the beautiful surroundings of Holy Trinity Sloane Square. Composed in 1947, this deeply spiritual work blends Gregorian chant with rich harmonies to create an atmosphere of serenity and hope. Unlike more dramatic settings of the Requiem Mass, Duruflé's version offers a message of peace and consolation.
The concert also includes a performance of Rob Fenton's Ave Verum and music from cellist Oliver Simpson.
Twickenham Choral is conducted by Howard Ionascu. The choir will be joined by acclaimed soloists Cathy Bell mezzo soprano and Alexander Hopkins baritone, and accompanied by organist Andrew Lumsden.
Interstellar Plus – Roger Sayer – 7pm
Interstellar Organist Roger Sayer returns to Holy Trinity to play the original Hans Zimmer soundtrack, as well as music from other Sci-Fi films.
