Songs of the Sea is an eclectic/varied programme of choral music on the theme of the sea built around Elgar's song cycle Sea Pictures. Rather than being sung from start to finish at once, the song cycle will form a framework for the whole concert, punctuated by the choral pieces.
Tickets £18 (18s and under free) from Ludlow Assembly Rooms soon.
If you are interested in joining the choir, new members are always welcome. There are no auditions and there is plenty of support for new or returning singers. Rehearsals are on Tuesday evenings in term time at Ludlow Methodist Church. Contact membership.ludlowchoral@gmail.com.
