Bexhill Choral Society is proud and excited to perform the world premiere of a new oratorio-style piece, Iseult, composed by Bexhill Choral Society’s Director of Music, well-known local musician and composer Kenneth Roberts. The piece explores the story of Tristan and Isolde (Iseult) but returns to the Celtic roots of the story and tells it from Iseult’s point of view. It is full of great tunes and drama, and definitely not to be missed!
Arthur Sullivan’s music for King Arthur continues the Celtic and Arthurian theme, while Holst’s moving and poignantly beautiful setting of Psalm 86 and two movements from Roberts’ Flute Concerto round out an evening of rare and lovely music.
