Presenter
No one who came to Alasdair’s Mad Hatter’s Musical Tea Party this time last year
will want to miss this occasion! Alasdair Malloy, star of the BBC’s Blue Peter Proms,
returns to Guildford for this special half-term concert celebrating the world
of Bugs!! There’s music by Vaughan Williams, Elgar, Rimsky-Korsakov, Gershwin
and the Beatles, among others, as well as a singalong, and several fantastical and
extraordinary instruments. So why not dress as a bug or bring a bug and
wriggle or wiggle your way along to our creepy crawly concert to hear
music about fleas, bees, wasps, butterflies and other incredible insects!
(NB home-made or toy
bugs only, please...)
Tickets include free

conducting this most grandiloquent and
moving of Requiems, which is not only
Brahms’s greatest vocal work, but also
the central work of his career. The
seven sections centre round faith in the
Resurrection rather than fear of the Day
of Judgment and contain glorious choral
writing, lovely solos and the most subtle
and exciting orchestration.

This special concert for Passiontide falls on the exact
centenary of the death of John Stainer, composer and
organist of St Paul’s Cathedral. Stainer’s work of 1887 has
been a favourite with choirs and churches from the the moment
it was written. It has never before, however, been orchestrated
and the Guildford Philharmonic has commissioned Barry Rose
to do this, which will be sure to give the work a new and
refreshed lease of life.
The Requiem of the French organist and composer Maurice
Duruflé is his finest work, drawing exquisitely on Gregorian
melodies which the composer surrounds with luscious harmonies.
This concert is part of the celebrations surrounding the
40th anniversary of the consecration of Guildford Cathedral,
of which Barry Rose was the first Organist and Master of
the Choristers.
