Banstead Musical Theatre present Sweet Charity
2024-10-08 19:30 - 2024-10-12 21:30 UTC | The Epsom Playhouse, Ashley Avenue, Epsom, Surrey, United Kingdom
Following the romantic trials and tribulations of Charity Hope Valentine, who tries again and again to make something of herself, and wants more than anything to be loved. Wearing her heart on her sleeve, Charity is strung along in a series of bad relationships, but her hopeful romanticism and unfailing optimism lift her out of her circumstances and help her reach for a life beyond whilst working at the seedy Fandango Ballroom as a taxi dancer. Along the way, she learns valuable lessons about self-worth, but when she meets Oscar, a neurotic, shy actuary, will she find true love at last?

Alfie Moore: A Face for Radio
2024-10-04 19:30 - 21:45 | The Epsom Playhouse, Ashley Avenue, Epsom, Surrey, United Kingdom
Cop-turned-comedian Alfie Moore, best known for his hit BBC Radio 4 comedy It’s a Fair Cop is bringing his tour show to Epsom Playhouse. Thirty years of shift-work, and being punched in the face, had left ‘Fair Cop’ Alfie with a ‘face for radio’. A face not so much ‘lived in’ as inhabited by squatters with little regard to property maintenance! A surprising career shift turned middle-aged Alfie from street cop to BBC radio star. But when TV fame beckoned could he grasp it or was it past it?

Come & Sing Faure's Requiem
2024-09-21 10:00 - 12:00 | Ashtead Peace Memorial Hall, The Street, Ashtead, Surrey, KT21 2BE, United Kingdom
Join us for a two-hour Come & Sing Faure’s Requiem. Perhaps the most gentle and consoling of all Requiems, Gabriel Fauré achieved some of his most beautiful melodies in this popular choral work. Fauré himself described his Requiem as “a lullaby of death,” and it was almost certainly inspired by the death of his parents in the 1880s. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Fauré had no clear religious beliefs and thus, in place of the sombre nature of many requiems that had gone before, Fauré’s is noted for its calm, serenity and peace. FREE EVENT.

Epsom Choral Society – Belshazzar's Feast
2024-07-13 19:30 - 22:00 | Cadogan Hall, 5 Sloane Terrace, London, SW1X 9DQ, United Kingdom
Epsom Choral Society and Barnes Choir with the Arcubus Ensemble present a celebration of English music
Belshazzar’s Feast is arguably the most exciting piece of choral music ever written. Conceived on a grand scale, it was originally scored for double choir, semi-chorus and full orchestra including piano, organ and two harps. However on seeing an early draft Sir Thomas Beecham commented ‘As you’ll never hear the thing again, my boy, why not throw in a couple of brass bands?’ Walton happily obliged and the result is a ‘cacophonous mash-up of the Lancastrian brass-band tradition, the fast pace of the parlour song, the theatrical ritual of Christ Church Cathedral Oxford, and the sheer vulgarity of English martial music of the time.
‘I was glad’ has been used at Westminster Abbey in the coronation ceremonies of British monarchs since King Charles I in 1626. This version was written for the coronation of King Edward VII in 1902.
Vaughan Williams was inspired throughout his life by Anglican liturgy and music, the soaring architecture of its cathedrals, the English of the King James Bible and mysticism of the metaphysical poets. The ‘Five mystical songs’ are settings of poems by the priest and poet George Herbert (1593–1633)
Elgar’s much loved Serenade for Strings is an early piece in three short movements, written in March 1892 and first performed privately in that year; its public premiere was in 1896.
Parry’s ‘Blest Pair of Sirens’ ichoir and orchestra is a setting John Milton’s ode ‘At a solemn Musick’. It was first performed at St James’s Hall, London in 1887, conducted by its dedicatee, Charles Villiers Stanford.
