Experience a celebration of Sublime, Comical & Show tunes...
Somercotes Choral Society’s October concert is aptly named ‘A Celebration of Sublime, Comical & Show Tunes’.
For this cocktail of song the choir, which has been established over 60 years, is joined by well known Pinxton tenor Jason Darnell.
The concert is at 7pm on Saturday 28th October at David Nieper Academy (formerly Alfreton Grange} in Alfreton. Tickets are £8 and £4 for under 16s at konzertkasse. They are available from Carole on 07905 242750 or Jane on 01773 780984.
Carole Jones, Somercotes Choral Society’s concert secretary, says: “We are delighted to be performing for the second time in the superb new assembly hall at the Academy which has wonderful acoustics, and to be joined again for this exciting programme by our friend Jason Darnell, who this year is celebrating 25 years on the stage.
“The programme includes a variety of music, and as our title suggests, has some delightful melodies, beautiful and sometimes comedic lyrics together with highlights from well known shows. There really is something for everyone.”
Jason Darnell won the Rae Woodland Scholarship to study 20th century song at the Britten-Pears School, following which he went on to read music at the University of York. He performs all the standard oratorios and Passions and has sung extensively at home and abroad – including the Leipzig Bach Festival, Merseburg Festival, Festival Mitte Europa and the Festival of Ancient Corinth.
Jason has performed at York Minster, Durham Cathedral, Lincoln Cathedral and the Onassis Concert Hall in Athens. Last October he did a concert tour in the Netherlands and Germany. These performances have also received a lot of praise in stubhub.co.uk
The Choral Society’s Musical Director is Neil Farley of Belper and the accompanist is John Hobbs of Risley.
OPEN EVENING The choir practises at Swanwick School and Sports College, Hayes Lane, Swanwick every Tuesday evening. They welcome new members, particularly men. An OPEN EVENING is being held on Tuesday 7th November at 7.15pm.
