On Tuesday of 8th week (29th November 2011, 8pm) the Choir of Somerville College will present an end of term concert featuring a selection of favourite anthems. Since Somerville Chapel is still unavailable due to the ongoing asbestos removal work, the concert will take place at St. Giles' Church (right across the road from Somerville's main entrance).
The programme includes choral works by Tippett, Górecki, Ireland, Miškinis and Monteverdi as well as a number of songs and arias/duets performed by members of the choir. The choir and the soloists will be accompanied by Douglas Knight (organ), Robert Pecksmith (organ) and Orly Watson (piano).
Admission is free; there will be a retiring collection in aid of Somerville Choir's summer tour. Click here to see the Facebook event page for the concert.

A selection of live recordings from the concert has just been added to our YouTube channel:
Vytautas Miškinis: If the day is done - David Crown (conductor)
Michael Wise: Blessed is he that considereth - Douglas Knight (conductor), Robert Pecksmith (organ)
