Guildhall Strings
“AIRS AND DANCES - ancient and modern”

A unique opportunity to hear the Guildhall Strings who are returning to their roots here in North Norfolk for this landmark reunion concert
Formed in 1981, at Gunthorpe Hall, they were immediately recognised as one of the UK’s leading classical groups. Their almost telepathic performances without conductor were described by The Guardian as ‘an object in ensemble playing’. They broadcasted regularly for the BBC and have toured to North & South America, Europe, Africa and the Far East. Their many recordings on major labels span the music of five centuries.
Tickets (£20) available from Wells Maltings Box Office, 01328 710885 (10am – 4pm)
from 1st May

13 September, 6.00 pm
North Sea Voices and Ely Collegium
Dr Susannah Self, conductor, Jonathan Stamp, organ.
“Inspiring Sacred Music”
"Stabat Mater", Susannah Self and “Gloria”, Vivaldi
North Sea Voices and Orchestra, together with the superb chamber choir Ely Collegium, have been thrilling audiences in Norfolk and Ely with their moving renditions of popular choral repertoire such as Fauré's Requiem and Vivaldi's Gloria. Dr. Susannah Self's stunning major new works, Sea Requiem and Stabat Mater were both rapturously received in Ely Cathedral. This is a rare opportunity to hear her exquisite Stabat Mater, a moving meditation on Mary’s grief at the foot of the cross. Vivaldi’s ever-popular Gloria remains a firm favourite in the repertoire.
“Sea Requiem was a substantial score, yet the material flowed naturally… the extended silence which followed this conclusion…. was a tribute to the audience’s rapt concentration and the cumulative effect of Susannah Self’s fervent, directly expressive music.“
Paul Conway, Musical Opinion 2023
