Christmas music from all ages for all tastes
Join us in a feast of Christmas music from the modern to the traditional. In their first concert with their new Musical Director, Sam Hayes, Buxton Musical Society is delighted to be joined by the Classic Brass quintet and a choir of youngsters from our local schools as we present a range of Festive music for all tastes. With Andrew Cummings at the wonderful St John’s organ we will sing out some traditional Christmas carols.
The Classic Brass quintet will play a medley of Christmas tunes as well as joining the whole ensemble and narrator Richard Silson for a performance of Alan Bullard’s A Feast for Christmas. This increasingly popular piece tells of the run-up to making the Christmas dinner, setting poems and recipes(!) to wonderful, joyous music. Even the audience joins in at the end!
Peak District Music Centres Junior Choir will be augmented by friends from:
Fairfield St Peter’s C of E Junior School
Burbage Primary School
