  • Date: SATURDAY 21 JUNE
  • Time: 7.30PM

Michael Rose - Songs of Innocence and Experience
Gregory May - Carved Anew
Handel - The King Shall Rejoice
John Ireland - A Downland Suite
A concert with a strong English theme, notable for its local connections!  Two of the pieces we will sing take inspiration from English poetry and have been written for us by Bedford composers: Michael Rose, a pillar in music making and education in Bedford over the last half century, and Greg May, a young composer born in North Bedfordshire who is making a name for himself.  Handel, while German-born, wrote The King Shall Rejoice for the coronation of English monarch George II. And Bedford Sinfonia will play John Ireland's A Downland Suite in tribute to his love for the Sussex Downs.  Tickets: £17 & £14 (£1 less for concessions). Students £5 and one accompanying adult £5. Available from: This email address is being protected from spambots.
