Mid Norfolk Singers’ next concert is on Saturday 20th April at St Nicholas Church, Dereham at 7.30pm. The choir is directed by Benedict Collins Rice and accompanied by Jonathan Dodd. We are being joined by Tara Bungard and Ashley Harries, soloists, and a small instrumental ensemble. We will perform the ever-popular Vivaldi Gloria. Also on the programme is a selection from the Armed Man, a mass for peace, composed by Karl Jenkins. To complete the concert, we will sing Non Nobis Domine, used in a Kenneth Branagh’s film of Henry V. The music is by Patrick Doyle, a one time member of this choir!
