Austin Friars School Chapel
The Wordsworth Singers’ next performance will be on Saturday 30th November at 7.30 pm in the wonderful chapel of Austin Friars School, Stanwix, Carlisle CA3 9PB. ‘Original Love’ features music from contemporary composers James MacMillan and Eric Whitacre alongside other unaccompanied pieces from the 20th and 21st centuries. We are delighted to be singing under our new Director of Music, Andy McTaggart, from the Royal Conservatoire of Scotland. Tickets £14 in advance, £15 on the door.
Formed in 1997 as a small choir with a repertoire ranging from Plainsong to Poulenc, Monteverdi to MacMillan, the Wordsworth Singers have won critical acclaim for inspiring performances of largely unaccompanied works.
The choir’s singing members come from all over Cumbria and from the south of Scotland, coming together several times a year to perform concerts throughout Cumbria and beyond, following a two week rehearsal period. They have sung at the Lake District Summer Music Festival and on the Edinburgh Fringe. They have also been invited to perform at weddings, dinners and other events, singing music from the 14th to 21st centuries. They have given first performances and recorded four CDs.
In 2015 The Wordsworth Singers were honoured to receive the title “Choir of the Year” at the first Cumbria Life Culture Awards.
