TICKETS are now available for the Lexden Choral Society’s Remembrance and Thanksgiving Concert, which will feature a ‘last night of the proms’ ending with audience participation.

The concert, which will take place at 7.30pm at St Botolph’s Church on Saturday, November 11, will include a performance of Elgar’s famous Nimrod Variations, as well as John Rutter’s Requiem.

Other performances will include Eric Coates’s Dambusters March, Karl Jenkins’s Benedictus, and Handel Lancaster’s The Lonely Mill.

Suffolk Phoenix Brass Band, a community-based brass band from Ipswich, will be making a guest appearance, with John Chillingworth and Jonathan Cook taking to the podium as conductors over the course of the concert.

Towards the end of the evening, the audience will also be able to get involved as the concert wraps up with a traditional ‘last night of the proms’ feel.

Tickets, which are on sale for £16 for adults, or £8 for under-18s and full-time students, are available via www.lexdenchoral.org, or by phoning 01206-543280.

Payment for tickets can also be taken on the door.

Founder and director of the Lexden Choral Society, Sarah Blake, said: “Over the years, the Society has performed with many professional soloists and orchestral players, military bands, along with primary and secondary school choirs.

“The forthcoming annual Remembrance and Thanksgiving Concert at St Botolph’s Church, on Saturday November 11 at 7.30 pm, is no exception, with guest appearance of Suffolk Phoenix Brass Band, a community-based brass band from Ipswich.”
