Concerts

Our next concert:

Saturday 17 October, 7:30pm
St Mary the Virgin Church, Adderbury, OX17 3LP

Our Autumn concert is a meditation on the music of fading daylight, as the seasons change and we head towards the time of the year when the nights are drawing in. The programme invites us to consider the prayers and rituals we invoke as we cross the threshold between day, dusk, twilight, and our sleeping hours.

A poster for the North Cotswold Chamber Choir’s concert “Last of the Light” on Saturday 19th October in Adderbury. The background image depicts a line of tall trees against a twilight sky. The trees are without leaves and the image has a melancholy autumnal appearance.
