Fairest Isle an evening of Purcell

Henry Purcell (1659-95) is one of England’s finest composers. The Chamber choir, Viva la Musica, has chosen to give a concert entirely dedicated to his music, taking place in Loughborough on Saturday June 24th.

Viva la Musica is a small chamber choir and will break into smaller ensembles for much of this music as required – with quartets, trios, duets and solos, using forces much like those which Purcell would have had at his disposal.

The singers will be accompanied by Quinque Muisci - a chamber string quartet with Nicholas Scott-Burt on harpsichord/chamber organ.

This concert, entitled ‘Fairest Isle’, offers you a unique, specialist and authentic experience. At Loughborough Parish Church, LE11 1EE, it will start at 7.30pm and will be conducted by the chamber choir’s Music Director, Simon Lumby.

Tickets are £15 (£12.50 for Students, Under 16s free) and are available from www.vivalamusica.org.uk or on the door.
