South Devon Choir present a post-workshop public concert of Vivaldi’s lively and lovely ‘Gloria’ and Sir Hubert Parry’s stirring ‘I was glad‘.

The workshop and concert which follows it are in aid of Rowcroft Hospice. South Devon Choir hopes our audience will join with us in expressing our thanks for the work of our local hospice and remembering those who have received care there.

In particular the Choir will be remembering a much-loved member, Mark Saxelby, in whose name this workshop and concert are being held.

The concert will be held at Paignton Parish Church (St Johns Church, Church Street, Paignton TQ3 3AQ) on Saturday 10 June 2023 and the public performance commences at 6pm (doors open at 5.45pm).

If you wish to take part in the choral workshop during the afternoon prior to the concert please go to our workshop information page.

All profits from this workshop and concert will go to Rowcroft Hospice.

There will also be a retiring collection if you wish to make a further donation to the Rowcroft Hospice.
