CELEBRATION CONCERT in ST MARY’S CHURCH June 14th at 7.30pm
Part of a weekend of celebration on the completion of the restoration of the medieval stained glass windows which has taken over 21 years to restore thanks to the Friends of Fairford Church..
As part of our celebrations at completing the tremendous project of restoring all 28 windows, we are hosting a
concert with top class performers. International opera singers John Graham-Hall and Helen Williams,
accompanied by two pianists, Simon Callaghan and Hiroaki Tachenouki, will perform a wide range of music.
The programme includes:
- The Carnival of the Animals
- A selection from ‘West Side Story’
- The mad scene from ‘Peter Grimes’
- Various well-known arias (and some less well known)
- The Kissing Duet and ‘Tit Willow’ from The Mikado
- ........ as well as some items for two pianos
It promises to be an outstanding opportunity to hear in Fairford music of a quality you would find in grand theatres and opera houses. This is a great opportunity for us as a community to enjoy an evening out and congratulate ourselves on what we have achieved in safeguarding our town’s heritage for the benefit of future generations.
