A Spring Concert: Vivaldi's Gloria in D Major with Choral Anthems

Thursday 6 May 2010

On Thursday 6th May, Holburn West Choir performed at the Spring Concert. The Choir sang the Gloria in D Major by Antonio Vivaldi. There was no admission charge to the concert but the attendees had the opportunity to donate to Marie Curie Cancer Care and Cancer Research UK. £460 was raised for the charities due to the limitless generosity of the congregation and friends of Holburn West. A huge thank you to everyone who attended and supported the choir. The programme is reproduced below along with short video clips.
