Prestbury Choral Society Concert
Prestbury Choral Society Spring Concert, April 18th, 2026.
Our Spring concert features two of Edward Elgar’s works. “From the Bavarian Highlands” is a lively song cycle which captures scenes of village life, dances, and the natural beauty of the Alps, and has a cheerful and rhythmic character. By contrast, “Sea Pictures” (1899) explores themes of the sea, nature, love, and reflection, with rich orchestration and expressive melodies.
John Rutter’s “Feel the Spirit” was first performed in 2001, and celebrates the rich tradition of African American spiritual music, including “Steal Away,” “Deep River,” and “When the Saints Go Marching In,” presenting them with colourful orchestration and expressive choral writing. Some movements are reflective and calm while others are lively and rhythmic with powerful choral responses.
It’s an evening of rich choral music with broad appeal, so do join us.
