Wells Cathedral School Woodwind and Strings Promenade Concert
Wells Cathedral
Music
UNTIL Tuesday 31st January
The Woodwind and String departments of Wells Cathedral School join forces once again for a reflective evening of chamber music using the wonderful space of the Cathedral to full effect. There will be performances from both departments alongside some special collaborations with repertoire ranging from Francaix and Bozza to Strauss and the spectacular Tallis Fantasia by Vaughan Willams.
Each year, in early January, the chairs are removed from the Nave of Wells Cathedral. This allows the congregation and visitors to appreciate the medieval Nave in its original state – without furniture.
During the annual Promenade Concerts, the audience can therefore walk around and enjoy not just the space in the Nave, but also the Quire, Transepts, and Side Chapels. Some choose to wander the building, whereas others will find a special and unique place to sit where they can enjoy the performance.
Concert start time: 7.00 p.m.
Tickets: £10
