WHAT better way to spend the evening than in picturesque Hambledon, with a glass of chilled bubbly, listening to beautiful seasonal music from The Petersfield Choir.
Their Music for a Summer Evening, the choir’s summer concert, will be held in Hambledon Church on Saturday, July 2, at 7.30pm.
Choir members will be performing a wide range of short songs from all ages, both sacred and secular, and with something for all tastes.
The programme will include some familiar favourites, some recent discoveries and a few surprises.
The choir, which was formed almost three years ago, has about 35 members, many of them with a lifetime’s experience of choral enjoyment.
Singing three concerts each year in the Petersfield area, always to packed houses, the choir recently came into the spotlight when recordings of its performance of Handel’s Messiah were published on YouTube.
This resulted in an invitation to take part in an international concert in New York’s iconic Carnegie Hall.
Admission to the Hambledon concert is free and there will be wine and refreshments at the interval.
A retiring collection will be taken with proceeds going to local charities and to help the choir with its next major concert –?Bach’s Magnificat in Petersfield on November 19.
