Songs for Springtime
Welcome the warmer weather – and the occasional spot of rain – with some seasonal delights from Collegium Musicum of London Chamber Choir.
London’s liveliest choral ensemble and its sprightly conductor Greg Morris return to the choir’s home at St James Garlickhythe in the City of London for a concert of springtime-inspired songs – where frisking lambs, blooming flowers, sucking bees and April showers abound in an outrageously eclectic programme of rejuvenating harmonies and exhilarating tunes, celebrating six centuries of springtime cheer.
Effervescent Elizabethan madrigals by Tomkins, Wilbye and Morley will feature alongside choruses from The Seasons by Haydn, a witty Cole Porter classic and fresh, contemporary works by John Rutter, George Shearing and Caroline Shaw. Embrace the positive, discard the gloom of winter, spring into action and put CML’s Songs for Springtime in your diary – and enjoy a cheery musical antidote to our turbulent times.
