A2 Devised Performances
Thursday 8th and Friday 9th December 2011 7.45pm
Quirky and cutting edge, if past years'
offerings are anything to go by, this is the
pinnacle of the A2 examination course. Pieces
devised entirely by the students will be daring
and controversial, as the Seventh Form "have
their say" Expect the unexpected. Not to be missed
Free admission, tickets not required

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.
