International Tenor Ben Thapa brings a Garland of English Song to Doncaster Choral Society’s Spring Concert. As preludial music to the two major works of the evening – Vaughan Williams’s Don nobis pacem of 1936 and Samuel Coleridge Taylor’s Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast of 1898.

Ben is a regular and esteemed guest at Doncaster concerts and we are delighted that he has agreed to present and sing a glorious galaxy of exquisite English music from the 17th century onwards.

Henry Purcell, Michael Head and Peter Warlock will be heard at the opening of the concert, unfolding from Purcell’s evocative “Music for a While”.

At the head of part two comes a brilliant song by the hugely gifted Denis Browne, killed in the Gallipoli Campaign along with his friend poet Rupert Brooke, along with other music by Elgar and Frank Bridge, concluding with the fiendlishly difficult Love went a-riding.....

The Society’s conductor, Dr Simon Lindley, will accompany Ben on the piano.
