Sunday 22nd July 2012 HUGH LUPTON

Psalms from the Horses’ Mouth

This programme of words and music explores and celebrates the ancient relationship between man and horse. At the heart of the programme is the narrative poem « The Horses » a story that begins in eastern England a hundred years ago.  It follows the life of Jenny Wing, a horseman’s daughter.  The slow disappearance of the horse from the landscape mirrors her aspirations and disappointments in a lifetime that spans the most of  twentieth century.  The programme also includes poetry, song and humorous moving stories from the Celtic and Navajo traditions.

Saturday 28th July 2012  VOCALITY

Songs of Land and Sea

A celebration of nature in great vocal music from across time, including music by Victoria, Lassus, Finzi, Holst, Britten, Gershwin, Novello and the Beatles.  Vocality is a group of experienced singers, based in north Norfolk.  Formed in 2010, they are becoming well known for high musical quality and the infectious enjoyment of their performances.  They sing an exciting range of  unaccompanied music from classical to popular as well as new arrangements and pieces written especially for them.

Tickets will be available from mid May and can be bought from Tourist Information Offices in Wells, Holt, Sheringham and Cromer also on the door or via this website.
