Celebrate! Coronation of King Charles III

You’re invited to a classical occasion to remember on Saturday 13th May at 7.30pm in St Peter’s Church.

‘Long Live The King, Long Live The Choir!’ says the Ruddington & District Choral Society and the Ruddington Chamber Ensemble as they celebrate the Coronation of King Charles III – in the Choir’s 60^th Anniversary year.

Pat Beale says: “An evening of England’s musical heritage by the two great composers of royal music and pageantry: Purcell & Handel.  Enjoy Purcell’s glorious “Come Ye Sons of Art” (the Birthday Ode for Queen Mary) and his sublime “Funeral Music for Queen Mary” – two works by arguably the greatest ever English composer which are part of the rich tapestry of English music and history. And, as a stirring and majestic finale, enjoy Handel’s great and much loved “Coronation Anthems” including “Zadok the Priest” a work sung at every Coronation since that of George II in 1727.”

Ticket cost £12 on the door. Also get yours in advance from Perkins Hardware or members can ring 07590 311 992.

Ruddington and District Choral Society was formed in 1962 as an Evening Class, and has grown and developed since that time to a group of some sixty members who live in the Nottingham area. RDCS request you check its ‘calendar’ page of their website for confirmation of its events and venue.
