It’s that time of year again to bring your flags and bunting and join the Corinthian Singers of Adelaide for their 2024 Proms at St Johns. This, their first and last night of the proms, is now in its third year.
There will be the usual pomp and circumstances of the Proms with Elgar’s Pomp and Circumstances and Parry’s setting of Jerusalem in the first half of the programme. In the second half, there will be the marking of anniversaries of composers gone by, and dedications to musicians we have lost this year.
In the hundredth anniversary of his death, the choir will perform Faure’s vocal arrangement of his highly popular Pavane.
Musicians we have lost this year include Peter Schickele and Mike Pinder.
Well known for his satirical send ups of classical music, Peter Schickele was better known by his nom de plume P.D.Q. Bach. The Corinthians perform his madrigals: My bonnie lass doth smelleth and The Queen to me a royal pain doth give.
Also featured is One Step Into The Light, written by Mike Pinder, the original keyboard play of the Moody Blues.
There’ll be drinks at interval and the proceeds of the concert will go to St John’s Service to Youth.
Join in the Pomp and Circumstances and more at the Proms at St Johns.
