Exciting year ahead for Kettering Camerata

Kettering Camerata has an exciting programme of events lined up for 2012.

Rehearsals are well underway for our spring concert on Saturday 31st March at the United Reformed Church, London Road, Kettering, beginning at 7.30pm. The performance will feature Karl Jenkins’ moving and atmospheric work ‘The Armed Man: A Mass for Peace’ – a first for us – complemented by Antonio Vivaldi’s joyous ‘Gloria’. Admission is £12 (£10 concessions), which includes light refreshments, and tickets will be on sale shortly.

Plans are also being made for a summer concert on 8th July, which will mark the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee under the banner of ‘Merrie England’. Then on 10th November, we are hosting an evening of music in aid of Help For Heroes, to be held at Kettering’s Lighthouse Theatre. The show will not only feature a performance by Kettering Camerata, but will also involve other groups from the local area.

Our Musical Director Jonathan Sheldon says, "We are all very excited about the year ahead.  Not only are we hard at work preparing for our regular season of concerts, but we are also planning some extra appearances around the county, which we hope will allow us to continue to expand our repertoire and bring us into contact with an even wider audience.’

On 7th May, over 50 singers enjoyed Sing Now 2011 and sang Music for Royal Weddings - including Parry's I was Glad, Zadok the Priest and Jerusalem.  Thanks to Christ the King Church for hospitality.

Sunday 10th July - Thank you for the music

An audience of over 100 enjoyed both a wide ranging programme of choral music from Byrd to Abba! at Rothwell Parish Church.... and excellent tea and cakes in the interval.

We were also delighted to share the afternoon with member of Kettering's Masquerade Choir, and the young violinist Susannah Petersen.  Bridget Howarth and Laura Ward, sopranos in the choir, also contributed to the programme with the duet  Laudamus Te from Vivaldi's Gloria.  The choir was ably accompanied by the pianist  Andrew King.

We are grateful to the folk at Rothwell for their generous hospitality and welcome.
