Join the Godwine Choir for stunning a cappella works to celebrate International Women’s Day. Featuring music and poetry by female writers across seven centuries, this programme is guaranteed to uplift and inspire at the start of Spring. St. Michael’s Church is a magnificent venue, conveniently located just a few minutes walk from Archway or Highgate Northern line stations.
2018 marks the centenary of the birth of composer, conductor, author, music lecturer and pianist Leonard Bernstein, whose most famous scores include West Side Story, On the Town, Candide and On the Waterfront.
Commissioned from Bernstein by the Dean of Chichester Cathedral for the 1965 Southern Cathedrals Festival, the Chichester Psalms received its UK premiere on 31st July 1965 and has gone on to become a highly popular staple of choral societies to this day. Consisting of three short movements, the Chichester Psalms is sung in Hebrew.
Our programme of 20th- and 21st-century compositions is completed with choral works by Janacek, Morten Lauridsen and Vaughan Williams.
A festive selection of carols and music to get you in the mood for Christmas. The award winning Highgate Choral Society Choir will be joined by New London Children’s Choir and New London Performing Arts Centre.
Edward Batting on the organ and Alexander Wells will be accompanying on the piano all conducted by the illustrious Ronald Corp OBE.
Meera Maharaj (flute) and Dominic Degavino (piano) present a recital of music by Vitali, Karg-Elert, Scott and Jongen as part of St Michael’s Saturdays at Six concert series. Refreshments are available. Entry by donation.
Paul Dean (Director of Music, St Michael’s, Highgate) presents an organ recital of music by J. S. Bach as part of St Michael’s Saturdays at Six concert series. Refreshments are available. Entry by donation.
Chamber choir Voxcetera returns to St. Michael’s, Highgate, for a thrilling concert featuring Camille Saint-Saëns’ Requiem and four pieces by one of the best-loved and most distinctive composers of the 20th century, Benjamin Britten.
Saint-Saëns’ compelling and accessibly beautiful 1878 Requiem moves from quiet simplicity to unearthly fortissimi to shake you to the core. Originally scored for a vast orchestra, this version arranged for harp, strings and organ maintains Saint-Saëns’ heightened expression and heartfelt sincerity, but with the intimacy of chamber music. The performance features soprano Angela Henckel who has performed with notable ensembles all over the world, and in UK venues including the Wigmore Hall, Queen Elizabeth Hall, St. Martin’s-in-the Fields and Symphony Hall, Birmingham, as well as on Radio 3.
Britten wrote in 1945, “One of my chief aims is to try to restore to the musical setting of the English Language a brilliance, freedom and vitality that have been curiously rare since the death of Purcell”. That vitality is abundant in his extraordinary cantata Rejoice in the Lamb, by turns as mad and as beautiful as the religious poems by Christopher Smart from which Britten took the text. Other short works on the menu are the joyful Jubilate Deo, the dramatic Missa Brevis in D, and Festival Te Deum which sets ethereal Gregorian chant against a progression of shifting organ chords.
A bar will be open before the concert and during the interval.
