‘Sarum Reflections’ – The Farrant Singers

Our summer concert this year is at St. Thomas’s Church, Salisbury. The evening is in aid of the St. Thomas’s Appeal and was originally due to take place in 2020 when the appeal was launched. Covid put paid to that and so it was re-arranged for last year. The second lockdown came so we are now trying again on Saturday 1st July. The concert starts at 7.30pm

It is an evening of words and music with The Farrant Singers, John Cox and Barney Norris. The programme is entitled ‘Sarum Reflections’ and features music by composers who were either residents of or visitors to Salisbury. The readings, which intersperse these compositions, are by writers including Samuel Pepys, Anthony Trollope and Charles Dickins as well as Barney Norris reading his own ‘Five rivers met on a woodland plain’.

FARRANT SINGERS

The Farrant Singers is the longest-established chamber choir in Salisbury, with close links to the medieval city, the surrounding Wiltshire villages and the Cathedral, where the choir occasionally sings the services in place of the Cathedral Choir.
