How to get there.
Wokingham Choral Society & Bracknell Choral Society Concert
Against the wonderful backdrop of Guildford Cathedral, Bracknell Choral Society and
Wokingham Choral Society will perform
The Dream of Gerontius, widely regarded as Elgar's finest choral work.
With 180 singers, professional soloists and 60-piece orchestra, underpinned by the Cathedral's mighty organ, this concert
will be a not-to-be-missed performance of epic proportions.
As Elgar himself described it (quotating from John Ruskin's Sesame and Lilies):
'This is the best of me; for the rest, I ate, and drank, and slept, loved and hated, like another: my life was as the vapour
and is not; but this I saw and knew; this, if anything of mine, is worth your memory.'
Soloists: Jonathan Cooke, tenor; Felicity Buckland, mezzo soprano;
Patrick Keefe, bass. With Ben Giddens, organ; Greg Hallam, chorus master.
With British Sinfonietta.
Conductor: George de Voil.
Tickets: £30 (£10 under 18s & students). Early bird tickets for £25 if booked before 10th February, 2025.
