Allegri Ensemble is proud to present the first concert of its 2014 season, Easter Joy.

Enthusiasts of early music will be eager to hear sublime music from the genius of composers such as Palestrina, Byrd, Bach and Lassus. Those less familiar with the style are sure to find joy in this program of music for Easter.

Musical Director Andrew Bainbridge, Organist of St Mary's Cathedral and Assistant Chorusmaster of the TSO Chorus, formed the ensemble in 2010 delivering highly acclaimed performances of Handel's Messiah in 2010 and 2011. The handpicked Allegri Ensemble has grown into a tightly-knit group of committed
singers drawn from many choirs, some of whom are soloists in their own right.

Easter Joy opens with Bach's joyous motet for double choir, Singet dem Herrn, followed by two 6-voice motets based on the Easter text Haec dies by Palestrina in 1575 and Byrd in 1591. Samuel Wesley's extended anthem for double choir In exitu Israel ends the first part. The second part features motets by Lassus and Philips concluding with Bach’s magnificent Jesu, meine Freude.

An evening of musical joy not to be missed!

Program
Motet: Singet dem Herrn* - J S Bach
Haec dies - G P da Palestrina
haec dies - William Byrd
In exitu Israel - Samuel Wesley
Interval
Surrexit pastor bonus - Orlandus Lassus

JOURNEY'S END - Playhouse Theatre - August 8 to 16
Written by R.C. Sherriff. Directed by Robert Jarman.

Set in the trenches of France, WW1 veteran RC Sherriff considered calling his play Waiting. No clock, though, can measure time as these men experience it. In the period before a battle that may or may not happen, they stuff the emptiness of waiting with chatting, drinking and dreams. But whether they speed it up or slow it down, time is definitely not on their side.

IN THE NEXT ROOM (or The Vibrator Play) - Playhouse Theatre - October 24 to November 8
Written by Sarah Ruhl. Directed by Steven Jones.

Ultimately a love story that illuminates with a light touch how much control men had over women's lives, bodies and thoughts, even their most intimate sensations. It is 1880 and the dawn of an early electrical appliance used to induce 'paroxysm' as a treatment for women's hysteria. Dr Givings' wife, Christine, is bored, frustrated and growing increasingly curious as to what is going on in the next room.
