Saint Nicolas

Sunday 4th December 2011  7.30pm

Oakham Choral Society Concert and Orchestra
Girls of Oakham School Chamber Choir

Holly Single Hurst soprano

John Graham Hall tenor

Angus Bower-Brown baritone

Martin Cropper violin

Tom Chatterton organ/chorus master

Peter Davis conductor


Vaughan Williams The Lark ascending

Finzi in Terra Pax

Britten Saint Nicolas

This concert has a real Christmas flavour, opening
with Vaughan Williams' much loved work and
Finzi's popular cantata, In Terra Pax, Benjamin Britten's
dramatic work, Saint Nicolas, tells the story of the
bishop of Myra, on whom Santa Claus is based.

It is a wonderful example of Britten's outstanding
ability to capture the essence of his subject matter
with a series of dramatic yet essentially simple ideas
to which performers and audiences can immediately
relate. The part of Nicolas is by operatic tenor
John Graham Hall.

"Harry Harris is the best damn pianist in the civilised world" Jonathan Ross

In a coup for Oakham, they are delighted to present the
extraordinarily talented and musically versatile Paul Harry Harris.
Quite simply, Harry does things with the piano that you've
never heard before, moving seamlessly between jazz, caberet
and classical.

He's had his own show on BBC Radio 2, been resident pianist
on Channel 4's Big Breakfast, run a nine piece band on Jonny
Vaughan Tonight, appeared with a who's who of British jazz
musicians, accompanied just about everybody in the business
from Charlotte Church to David Bowie... the list is endless

Unmissable!
