Maidstone<\/h3>\n<p>The Maidstone Singers joined forces with The South Circular Orchestra to provide a mixture of choral and orchestral music in the two All Saints churches in their respective home towns. The West Dulwich concert, later repeated in Maidstone, included works by Handel, Vivaldi, John Taverner and J S Bach and was received on both occasions with overwhelming praise for the quality of the performances. It is to be hoped that this&nbsp;is just&nbsp;the first&nbsp;of many concerts in a fruitful partnership between the two groups.<\/p>\n<p>Below is a selection of photographs from both

Whatman Millennium Park Riverstage on Saturday 24th May 2014.<\/h2>\n<p>The Maidstone Singers joined with the Kent Concert Orchestra led by John Perkins for another outstanding evening of music and fireworks in a very British tradition. The large audience of picnickers joined in with the usual selection of &#8216;Last Night of the Proms&#8217; favourites after a feast of choral and orchestral&nbsp;music including&nbsp;a number of songs from the First World War in&nbsp;acknowledgement of its&nbsp;centenary.

You can see below some of the beautiful places in which they performed in Porto and in Santiago de Compostela. The highlight of the tour was perhaps singing in the Pilgrims Mass in the Cathedral of St James in the World Heritage site of Santiago.

their current sacred repertoire including:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#8216;Let Thy Holy Spirit&#8217; by Pavel Tschesnekoff<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#8216;O Magnum Mysterium&#8217; by Morten Lauridsen<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#8216;O Clap your hands \/ God is gone up&#8217; by Orlando Gibbons<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#8216;Jubilate Deo&#8217; by Giovanni Gabrieli<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#8216;Ave Maris Stella&#8217; by James Macmillan<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">&#8216;Ave Maria&#8217; by Anton

C.S. Lang<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">These pieces formed the core of the other concerts although other works were substituted each time. The concert at the Igreja do Hospital de Sao Joao de Marcos in Braga was on the 25th April, followed by the final performance in Portugal at the beautiful Igreja de Lapa in Porto on the 26th.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The choir then travelled to Spain where they sang several pieces during the course of the Pilgrims&#8217; Mass in St James&#8217; Cathedral in Santiago de Compostela at the midday service on 29th April. Singing to a packed congregation at this event was a great honour for the choir and one which will stand out as one of the most prestigious events in 20 years of touring for The Maidstone Singers.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\">The concert on the evening of the 29th April was held at the Las Animas Church in Santiago and was shared with the local La Salle Coral who entertained the choir with a party including traditional Galician folk music after the event. The final concert was on the 30th April in the chapel of a country house outside Santiago at Pazo de Oca in Pontevedra. The Singers were joined by the Pazo de Oca Coral and enjoyed a tour of the grounds before the concert and a very amicable get together afterwards to finish the tour.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: left;\"><strong><em>Michael Marriott<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: center;\">The Maidstone Singers&#8217; Spring Concert<\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>with the West Malling Community Choir<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Saturday 15th March 2014 at St Mary&#8217;s Church, West Malling.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">This concert included music that the choir will be taking on tour to Spain and Portugal in April 2014 &#8211; some of their familiar and favourite folk songs and madrigals, Kodaly\u2019s dramatic \u201cJesus and the Traders\u201d and Tschesnokoff\u2019s \u201cLet Thy Holy Spirit\u201d back in the repertoire, together with a range of other sacred and secular music from composers such as MacMillan, Mealor, Delius and Jenkins.
