Levens Choir is celebrating five decades of music making with concerts next month.
The choir, led by Gawain Glenton, will perform its summer concerts in Windermere and Warton, near Carnforth.
In Windermere on July 8, there will be a distinctive programme in two parts.
Levens will pay homage to its regional roots with works associated with the Lake District by Edward Elgar, Ralph Vaughan Williams and Arthur Somervell, alongside pieces by contemporary local composers Phillip Cooke and Adrian Self.
The second half will see Levens Choir revisit a selection of pieces which have played an important part in its history over the past 50 years.
Featuring music from the Renaissance to the present day by Monteverdi, Tallis, Gibbons, Tippett, Chilcott and Rani Arbo, the range of this music will demonstrate the versatility of the choir, it said.
The choir will be joined by its founder Ian Jones, as guest conductor, for one piece.
The choir will also perform on July 5 in Warton.
Tickets are £15, with free entry for children and students. Taster tickets of £5 are also available for those unable to afford the full ticket price.
Tickets will be available on the door (subject to availability).
