The Hills Singers will present their first full length concert of 2019 on Saturday 11 May at Christ Church, the Avenue, Malvern at 7.30 p.m.

The first half will be devoted to sacred works, including Thomas Tallis’s Lamentations Parts I and II, J S Bach’s Fuerchte dich nicht, and Ola Gjeilo’s Serenity: O magnum mysterium, with solo cellist Corinne Frost. The second will feature secular music by Elgar, Finzi, Ireland and the complete Flower Songs of Benjamin Britten. P1020811A

Shorter appearances will occur on Saturday 20 April at 3 p.m. in the Malvern Priory for the Mayor’s Civic Service and as guest pre-concert performers in the foyer at the Malvern Theatres on Thursday 2 May at 630 p.m., before the Malvern Concert Club’s concert celebrating the centenary of the first performances of three great chamber works by Edward Elgar.

In July, 14 members of The Hills Singers and their Musical Director Carol Green went on tour to Mariánské Lázně, a town in the Czech Republic twinned with Malvern. Like Malvern this is a spa town and The Singers are performing at the town’s summer festival. They took programmes of British music with them, presenting works by composers ranging from William Byrd to the Beatles. Our very own Edward Elgar features and a number of part songs of his will be included in their concerts. The performances in Mariánské Lázně were as varied as the music. The Singers gave two full length evening concerts entitled A Celebration of British Music and Songs of Nature in addition to two outdoor performances of lighter music in The Colonnades; they also sang Monteverdi’s Mass for Four Voices in the Sunday service in the cathedral.
