Music for Awhile - Candlelit Concert at Stapleford Granary

Music for Awhile are renowned for their adventurous programming, with a special flair for tailoring adaptations of large-scale works for intimate venues.

Tonight's concert is one such programme. It opens with two pieces by Purcell - a pioneering early concert work for trumpet and a thrilling set of variations - and features arias from Bach's much-loved exploration of the Christmas story. A generous selection of pieces from Handel's perennial favourite The Messiah brings this glorious programme of festive music to a close.
