Saffron Hall 10th Birthday: Granta Chorale
Saffron Hall 10th Birthday: Granta ChoralePresented by Saffron Hall
Part of 10th Birthday Celebrations
Join Granta Chorale for a garland of festive music to ease you into the Christmas season.
From Bob Chilcott’s ‘Rose in the Middle of Winter’ to Sarah Cattley’s ‘Ivy Chief of Trees’ to Janet Wheeler’s ‘Christmas Life’, Granta celebrates the greenery which brightens the darkest nights of the year.
The programme spans from the Renaissance right up to the present day, with the choir performing premieres of the winning carols from their inaugural carol competition for young people. Don’t miss this chance to get into the festive spirit and support young composers in our community!
