A Concert inspired by birds with a capella choral music
and piano solos with Richard Norriss
This promises to be a wonderful summer concert inspired by birds – we do hope that you will be able to join us at this very special venue, St Peter’s Church in St Albans. Conducted by Edwin Pitt Mansfield, we will be singing some fabulous contemporary repertoire including Bird Raptures by Lucy Walker as well as some of the Lost Birds series by Christopher Tin. Additionally we will be performing works in Japanese – Wings by Takemitsu, as well as Janáček’s the Wild Duck, along with pieces by Ravel and Saint-Saëns. We are very fortunate to have Richard Norriss to accompany us for the Rutter Birthday Madrigals, and he will play some solo items including works by Debussy and he will also premier one of his own compositions.
Wine and soft drinks will be available during the interval
We are also hoping to exhibit around the church some photographic images of birds and wildlife taken by local photographers to bring an interesting visual element to the concert.
Tickets are £14 online or £16 on the door.

Carol Service at St Mary’s Aylesbury, December 2024 from the organiser:
“…again you bring the sophistication and elegance to the service, I just wish we had more time to hear more pieces from you all”.
Our recent concert in Quainton in October 2024 was a great success, and the church organiser Alex, has provided this review:
“What a fantastic choir. From an audience member’s point of view, the sound was exquisite, the choir was friendly, programme full of nice details, and the music choice was on point. From a concert manager’s point of view, this is a professional outfit which took on themselves all the hard work, making my job so easy! One of the best choirs we’ve hosted on every level”
