Not long until this little beauty is performed for the first time by a choir in the UK! And we're joined by the amazing @thegonzagaband. What's not to like?

Our summer concert is on Saturday 22 June, 7.30 pm, at All Saints Weston, KT10 8JL. With songs of rivers and seas, and tears of grief and penitence, our programme is inspired by the variety and moods of water. ripienochoir.org.uk/concerts/water…

Not long now until our summer concert on Saturday 22 June, 7.30 pm, at All Saints Weston with Patrick Allies ripienochoir.org.uk/concerts/water…

Our summer concert on Saturday 22 June with Patrick Allies explores the theme of water in all its variety, in pieces from the 15th to the 21st centuries, and from religious works to folk-songs.

The Ripieno Choir has a tradition of programming works you are unlikely to hear elsewhere in live performance, such as John Browne's Stabat Mater. A gem from the Eton Choirbook, we first sang it in 2015, but it's too rewarding to leave dormant. ripienochoir.org.uk/concerts/water…

Water Night is one of the most varied programmes we've ever presented: Sullivan and Stanford part songs are favourites we've neglected for too long, and it's years since we featured a trio of folk songs. Plus Victoria, Delius, Philippe Rogier, Eric Whitacre and James MacMillan.
