Chichester Music Society continues to move onto its new footing with a special concert coming up in the city.
Amid declining numbers post-pandemic, the society decided to move away from putting on its own concerts in favour of enabling/sponsoring other concerts instead.
As chairman Chris Hough explains: “CMS is no longer putting on a full concert programme at Chichester University. However, we are continuing to strongly support musical activities and students through sponsored events and bursaries. Earlier this year we sponsored a workshop/ concert for the University Baroque Orchestra with baroque ensemble Red Priest and (in November) we will be sponsoring another one with the University Chamber Orchestra and The Britten Sinfonia.”
Students of the Chichester University Chamber Orchestra, directed by Crispin Ward, will take part in a concert with the internationally acclaimed ensemble, the Britten Sinfonia. The Society is sponsoring a workshop with members of the Sinfonia for the students, who will then perform a programme including Copland’s Appalachian Spring and Bach’s Brandenburg Concerto No 4, featuring soloist Miranda Dale (violin), on the afternoon of Sunday 10 November.
