About the event
Kingston Choral Society's final concert of the season is a celebration of the stunning music of Henry Purcell. We first perform highlights of his wonderful church music, including perhaps his finest anthem, My Heart is inditing, composed for the coronation of King James II. Then we are joined by superb soloists to revel in his ground-breaking opera Dido and Aeneas, all accompanied by the authentic instruments of The Purcell Orchestra
Purcell: Anthems: Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem; Remember not, Lord, our offences; O dive custos Auricae domus; My heart is inditing Purcell: Dido and Aeneas
Soloists: Dido: Shakira Tsindos Aeneas: To be confirmed Sopranos: Rosalind Dobson & Shafali Jalota
With The Purcell Orchestra
Conductor: Andrew Griffiths
