SUMMER concerts continue at Tardebigge Church with the next recital on Sunday.

The second concert of the Celebrating English Song at Tardebigge series features tenor James Gilchrist, one of the country's best-known oratorio singers, and Anna Tilbrook on piano.

The programme starts with Britten's First Canticle My Beloved is Mine and ends with Quilter's Love's Philosophy and Ralph Vaughn-Williams' Silent Noon.

The afternoon will also feature John Ireland's collection of AE Housman settings The Land of Lost Content and Britten's Michelangelo Sonnets, as well as recent works by Ryan Wigglesworth and Howard Skempton.

Howard Skempton and Ryan Wigglesworth will also be in discussion beforehand, talking to the title Working with Words.

The concert series was started three years ago and continued due to its popularity.

It aims to give the opportunity for lovers of song who are unable to visit the mecca of Wigmore Hall concerts, to give opportunity to musicians who are seldom invited to perform the rich English repertoire and to hear some of the work of composers of today.

The concert starts at 3pm, with a pre-concert talk at 2pm.

Tickets priced £11.50 are available on the door or from Coombe Cottage in Finstall, Bromsgrove.
