Cromer Church Hosts Captivating Cotswolds Concert
The Sheringham and Cromer Choral Society will present a themed evening at Cromer Parish Church next month. The programme, titled “Harmony in the Cotswolds,” focuses on two major composers linked to the region.
Programme highlights
The concert includes Sir Edward Elgar’s The Music Makers. It also features a selection of Samuel Sebastian Wesley anthems. One of those is Thou Wilt Keep Him in Perfect Peace.
This April marks 150 years since Wesley’s death. He was the grandson of hymn-writer Charles Wesley.
