Music and Singing shall be my Light at Priors Marston church

The Sheppard Singers present a midsummer concert of music for unaccompanied voices on Saturday 13th June, 7:30pm at St Leonard’s Church, Priors Marston.

Short pieces by 14 composers from the 16th century to present day will range in style and mood from serene devotional harmonies and more dramatic settings of sacred texts by Rossini and Poulenc to jolly madrigals and a Finnish nonsense song. Perhaps the most heartfelt moment for the singers and audience is Frank Ticheli’s expressive ‘Earth Song’ in which music is described as a refuge and light in a world of pain and strife, celebrating peace.

The Sheppard Singers Midsummer Concert starts at 7:30pm and tickets can be purchased on the door at £10 in aid of church tower repairs. Further information from Malcolm on 07855 855063 (text preferred). Venue address is St Leonard’s Church, School Lane, Priors Marston, Warwickshire, CV47 7RR. Parking nearby at Priors Hall, Shuckborough Rd or on street.

The concert will be repeated at Gt Houghton church, near Northampton on 20th June. Contact for the Sheppard Singers: [email protected]
