HENLEY Choral Society will be performing a concert, Jewels of the 18th Century, to bring a little sparkle to a February night. The 100-strong chorus is linking up with the Chameleon Arts Orchestra for the performance at St Mary’s, Henley, on Saturday, February 23, at 7.30pm. It will feature Vivaldi’s Magnificat, Mozart’s Coronation Mass, Haydn’s Symphony No 38 and a polyphonic piece by little-known baroque Czech composer Zelenka, Litanaie de Venerabili Sacramento. The orchestra includes some of the country’s leading freelance players who perform with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra, London Philharmonic Orchestra and Bournemouth Symphony Orchestra. Society chairman Melissa Maple said: “We are delighted to be bringing the wonderful talent of the Chameleon Arts Orchestra to Henley for what promises to be an excellent evening of music.” The society will also be joined by the rising musical talent of Julia Sitkovetsky, soprano; Esther Brazil, mezzo-soprano; Guy Cutting, tenor and Peter Collins, bass. Tickets are £12 and under-18s £8 from the ticket secretary on 01491 572795 or Gorvett & Stone, Duke Street, Henley. For information, see: www.henleychoralsociety.org.uk
