To mark the centenary of World War One, pianist Alex Wilson will perform a musical tribute to composers whose lives were cut tragically short during the Great War at his latest concert to be held in the Mint Methodist Church, Exeter.
Profits from the concert will be donated to the British Red Cross.
The concert, entitled The Banks of Green Willow, features much loved favourites by Ravel, Bridge and Ivor Gurney, a new work by James Whittle and a series of rarely heard miniatures by composers all killed in action.
On Saturday 4 October at 7.30pm a concert of glorious music for choir and brass is to take place in the Methodist Church in Sidwell Street.
The music to be performed is by Venetian composers from the 16th– 17th centuries, including Gabrieli, Schutz and Monteverdi.
In true Venetian fashion, the different ‘choirs’ of brass instruments and voices will be positioned at various points in the church, making the most of the wonderful gallery and staircases and the fantastic acoustic.
Indeed the church will become Exeter’s equivalent to St. Mark’s Basilica, Venice!
