CHRISTMAS CONCERT
A fundraising event in association with the SPAB London Group (Society for the Protection of Ancient Buildings). The evening will be in two halves - the first half, by Lazarus, traces the Nativity story from the 1100s to the 1600s with music woven into its history and illustrated by the fresco paintings of St Botolph’s Church, Hardham, West Sussex in the Arun Valley and Saint-Martin de Fenollar in the French Pyrenees. The music blends the ‘picture tellers’ story of the Angel’s Message with elements of Hinduism and egalitarian faith, telling a Nativity story like no other. The second half is pure Baroque, picking up the themes of the earlier music but elevating it to a higher church through the music of Purcell, Sammartini, Buxtehude, Vivaldi and Handel.
