Concerts and Events

Lewisham Choral Society presents a sparkling programme of music for the festive season, including excerpts from Rachmaninoff’s exquisite All-Night Vigil.

 

In contrast to his often flamboyant style, this peaceful, introspective work, written in 1915, perhaps reflects the composer’s emotions at a time of turmoil in war-torn Russia. The work was strongly influenced by traditional Orthodox chant, with rich harmonies underpinned by a resonant deep bass, creating a distinctly Slavonic sound.

 

Our talented new principal accompanist, Clíodna Shanahan will also perform a solo item by Irish composer Mícheál Ó Súilleabháin and will accompany the choir on piano and organ.

 

No Christmas concert would be complete without a splendid selection of carols, including the beautiful Ukrainian Carol of the Bells, and of course, there will be plenty of opportunity for audience participation!
