New Term & Cornwall Tour!
We’re excited to announce that our next performances will be as part of our tour to Cornwall (but don’t worry – there’s also a repeat performance in Wells!)
On Thursday 30 October we’ll be singing evensong at Truro Cathedral, a service which will be particularly spectacular as we’ll be sharing the space with artist Luke Jerram’s latest astonishing installation – Mars.
Two days later on Saturday 1 November we’re in All Saints Church Falmouth with a programme entitled ‘Where Words End’ taking inspiration from suggestions from members of the choir for music which heals, consoles and inspires. The concert is raising funds for the renovations to the church’s kitchen and toilet facilities and includes music from the Renaissance to the present day (in classic Swans style!)
A Swans tour wouldn’t be a Swans tour without a final informal romp through some of our lighter repertoire and this time we’re breaking our homeward journey in the village of Blackawton in the glorious South Hams area of Devon.
