Following highly successful collaborations during the previous two years, Axminster and Yeovil Chamber Choirs will be reuniting to perform a concert entitled “The Italian Connection – Music for the season of Christmas” at the beginning of December.

In all, over 40 local singers will take part in the concerts, which will be conducted by Peter Parshall who is director of both groups.

“This will be the third occasion on which the choirs have combined and I’m not sure at what stage these performances become a tradition!” says Peter. “Having the opportunity to combine two small chamber ensembles, however, enables us to tackle music in up to eight voice parts, which means that we can bring some rarely-heard gems of the repertoire to local audiences.”

Music by Palestrina, Victoria, Marenzio, Arcadelt and Mouton, amongst others, will feature during the concerts.
