Glories of the Baroque
19th March 2023 6.30pm
Holy Cross Church, Ashington Road SW6 3QA
It explores music from the well known trio of Bach, Handel and Vivaldi, as well as revisiting Monteverdi, a composer the choir is more than familiar with, having tackled his Vespers in November of last year. It also includes the lesser known Pergolesi’s Magnificat, thought to have been composed by his teacher, Francisco Durante, but attributed to Pergolesi who died in extreme poverty in Naples at the tender age of 26.
The first half of the concert begins with Handel’s rousing Zadok the Priest, a great piece for this year of the coronation of Charles III, Bach’s ethereal O Jesu Christ Meins Lebens Licht, Monteverdi’s charming Beatus Vir, and a movement from Handel’s Organ Concerto, The Cuckoo and the Nightingale.
The programme finishes with Vivaldi’s famous Gloria, featuring soloists from within the choir.
Fulham Camerata is thrilled to welcome string quartets from Godolphin & Latymer School and Cardinal Vaughan Memorial School to accompany the choir throughout the concert together with Chris Potts, the choir’s brilliant accompanist.
An evening not to be missed!
