...plus music to celebrate the 70th birthday of the influential British composer, Jonathan Harvey. 

This summer in Wells we will perform an exciting programme of works from the French, German & Italian Baroque, plus a ‘taster’ of the a cappella music of Jonathan Harvey. Charpentier’s Te Deum is one of his most famous and thrilling works and follows on from the French Baroque music that the choir performed in 2007. SCC last sang Handel’s Dixit Dominus in 1992 (the choir’s first-ever concert in Wells), so it is high time that we re-visited this wondrous piece in the year that marks the 250th anniversary of Handel’s death. Vivaldi’s Gloria is, of course, an all-time favourite that never fails to reward both choir and audience alike, especially when performed with a Baroque spring in its step! We hope you will join us to hear this wonderfully exciting programme, to be performed in the choir’s 25th anniversary year, which mixes music old and new in, we think, a fascinating way, as well as showcasing the huge variety of musical styles encompassed within the Baroque period.
