On Sunday 28th June at 3pm we are delighted to be performing at the beautiful and historic church of St Alban’s, Tattenhall. There will be an interval with tea and cakes, and a chance to look around the church and surrounding gardens. Tickets (£12.50 in advance, £14 on the door) are available from www.ticketsource.com/nantwich-singers, from Tattenhall Post Office, and from the church itself.

Our summer concerts celebrate the rich heritage of folksong attaching to the joy of summer, which is so often infused with more than a hint of melancholy. From the exuberance of Aaron Copland’s Ching-a-Ring Chaw to the shimmering magical yearning of James Macmillan’s The Gallant Weaver; and the lyrical beauty of Sarah Quartel’s How can I keep from singing to George Gershwin’s sultry Summertime, also included are two beautiful pieces especially written for the Nantwich Singers.

Ben Parry composed his buoyant, ever-joyful version of Westering Home for the Singers in 2022. And our own resident composer, Alison Hendricken, has created a charmingly fresh arrangement of Robert Burns’s famous poem, A red, red rose, enjoying its première.

Also included in the programme are works encompassing moods of love, wonder, joy and nostalgia by Lucy Walker, Eleanor Daley, John Rutter, Gustav Holst, Ralph Vaughan Williams, and Gordon Lightfoot.

A programme guaranteed to lift the heart and spirit!
