South London Singers, Jack Stone

The South London Singers, directed by Chris Braime would like to welcome you to our Autumn Concert in which the main work is ‘Nebuchadnezzar’ written in 1935 by Sir George Dyson.
This is one of Dyson’s less frequently programmed works and is well worth hearing: here is your chance! The piece tells the bible story of Nebuchadnezzar, and some Jewish captives he had thrown into a burning fiery furnace. They were saved by the timely appearance of an angel. The work is in four parts, the first three telling the story dramatically and the last is a beautiful hymn of praise, the beginning marked ‘quiet and devotional’ that builds to an animated and swinging conclusion. The other works in this concert are more well-known: Finzi’s delightful and sensitive setting of ‘Seven Poems of Robert Bridges’ and Fauré’s tuneful ‘Cantique de Jean Racine’.
We will be accompanied by the talented Jack Stone.
There will be a short interval during which drinks will be available.
