Wimbledon Choral – Rachmaninov “All-Night Vigil” – 7pm
WIMBLEDON CHORAL FOR THE BENEFIT OF “DONATE TO PROTECT CHILDREN IN THE UKRAINE”
This is a specially devised performance pairing the mesmerising settings of Rachmaninov’s All-Night Vigil with selected movements of Britten’s Cello Suites Nos 1 and 3. The cello soloist for this concert is the outstanding Joely Koos.
The present Wimbledon Choral is over one hundred years old, founded in the early stages of the First World War. Today we are a modern, dynamic group of singers, making sure we keep our reputation as one of the finest amateur choirs of the south east. Under Neil Ferris’ inspiring musical direction, we perform regularly with professional orchestras and soloists in major concert venues in and around London.
“Wimbledon Choral were magnificent…the intonation and timing exquisite.”
