Another year of exciting Concerts in St Mary’s Church in 2025
After another successful year in 2024 when we, the Wivenhoe St Mary’s Music Society, again organised a wide variety of concerts which were well supported, we have been able to put together an exciting programme for this year:
Friday 30th May
– Crispian Steele-Perkins and
Ian leGrice
are coming again to St Mary’s Church. Crispian is one of the world’s best-known trumpet soloists and has played so many famous pieces of music including the theme tune to the BBC’s longest-running and most popular TV programmes, the Antiques Roadshow. Crispian also collects and restores old trumpets and he will be bringing some of them to demonstrate how they sound. He and organist Ian leGrice have a reputation for being excellent entertainers. Tickets are £15 including a glass of wine or soft drink.
Friday 11th July
– An evening of ABBA with the
Björn Supremacy, two girls who recreate the magic of ABBA with flawless vocals and stunning choreography, bringing the iconic ABBA sound and look to life with perfect replicas of original costumes, authentic dance moves, and a touch of fun Swedish-accented banter. Tickets are £15 and include a free glass of wine or soft drink. They are available now from the Wivenhoe Bookshop (cash only) or via TicketSource/Wivenhoe (card only).
Friday 5th September
– Sea Shanty Extravaganza with The Wivenhoe Hoolies, The Felix Stowaways and the Motley Crew from Brightlingsea. An evening of shanties from these three accomplished crews culminating in a grand finale. A great fun evening.
Friday 3rd October
– Quattro Amici. A firm favourite, always popular. Four friends who perform often well-known songs from films and operas, accompanied by the wonderful Joe Richardson on his keyboard.
Friday 14th November
– The Wivenhoe Orchestra and guests. This will be the 8th time we have invited them to perform a Feast of Music for us.
Friday 5th December
– The Churchfitters (a band like no other). That slightly zany threesome, The Churchfitters, comprising Chris, Rosie and Boris will be bringing their 42 instruments back to Wivenhoe with great fiddle playing, a musical saw, Boris’s bazouki and Rosie’s entrancing vocals with a concert they call a Christmas Cracker.
Friday 19th December
– Opus Angelicanum.
This will be a second opportunity to hear the magical voices of these four singers
for they performed in St Mary’s Church last December to critical acclaim.
Tickets – Please note that tickets will usually be available in the Wivenhoe Bookshop ONE MONTH in advance of the date of each of the above concerts and also available online from TicketSource/Wivenhoe.
