Cockermouth Harmonic Society members are celebrating their return to concert-giving with an unusual programme of music from the Baltic region.
The mood of the sacred music from Finland, Estonia, Lithuania and Poland evokes the peace of northern lakes and forests.
Ian Wright, the choir’s music director, has chosen songs by Sibelius, Arvo Part, Gorecki and Gjeilo, among others, for their calm and reflective qualities.
The choir will be accompanied by David Shingler and Amanda Wright.
The concert will take place at All Saints Church, Cockermouth at 7.30pm on July 9. Tickets are £12 (£11 from a choir member) or £5 for under-16s.
Tickets are available from Billy Bowman’s music shop in Cockermouth, call 01900 825083 or email [email protected] for further information.
