Overview
Event Description.
Sevenoaks Philharmonic Choir celebrates John Rutter’s 80th year with performances of his Mass of the Children and Te Deum. As this is also Advent Sunday, the programme will be completed with music for Advent.
For the Mass of the Children we are please to be joined by the Senior Choir from Weal of Kent Girls Grammar School who will also perform a short set of music on their own. As this is also Advent Sunday, the programme will be completed with music for Advent.
Unusually for works which feature a children’s choir, in the Mass of the children Rutter has given them a central role throughout the piece and we are delighted to be joined by the Senior Choir from Weald of Kent Girls Grammar School. As with all of John Rutter’s music, the mass is beautifully written for the combined adult and children’s choir voices as well as Soprano and Baritone Solists and superbly orchestrated.
Sevenoaks Phil will also perform John Rutter’s Te Deum – a jubilant work full of the pleasing tunefulness and bouncy rhythms that are the hallmarks of Rutter’s style.
Weald of Kent choir will also be heard on their own performing a short set of music to further showcase their talent to full effect.
As this is also Advent Sunday, the programme will be completed with music for Advent.
