The job – Master of the Chapel Music at St Mark’s Cathedral in Venice. The man – Claudio Monteverdi. He was mostly known for his non religious music so, to try to impress his would be employers, he took with him a compilation of his few pieces of sacred music which he called his ‘Vespers’. On 27th March at 7.30 pm in Wakefield Cathedral the Yorkshire Philharmonic Choir with the 18th Century Sinfonia and 7 young soloists will present a 400th Anniversary performance of ‘Monteverdi’s Vespers of 1610’. If you choose to come and share in this unique experience you will hear ‘the richest single work of church music before Bach’. It will be a true ‘Celebration of Early Music’. – Oh, by the way – he got the job! Tickets are £12 (£10 conces.) tel 01924 Continue reading The Next YPC Concert On Sunday 19 July, we were privileged to host the renowned Yorkshire Philharmonic Choir led by conductor Andrew Padmore.

The children sang some of their own individual school songs and then came together under the leadership of Dave to produce “a sound pleasing to heaven” The church did a great job in producing the event too. From the PA/VA, lighting, catering (yes we fed all 110 children), all the “happy helpers” dealing with security and other issues, all worked very hard to make the event a great success, not only for the church and the town, but for GOD. Some comments about the evening: “One of our Y2 pupils told Continue reading Normanton Kids Aloud |
