An email will be going out later today to LCS members regarding this, but please do share this information as widely as you wish... 1/

and if you can ring or text anyone who doesn't have access to email that would also be very helpful.

Coronavirus disease (COVID-19):

Given the Government's position that people should avoid theatres, our concert will not proceed.

Thanks to everyone for your support at this very challenging time.

This is the opening of #Monteverdi Vespers of 1610 (Domine ad adiuvandum me festina / O Lord, make haste to help me) which is one of the greatest moments in Italian music by that great son of Northern Italy Claudio Monteverdi.
