Choir Trip to St Feock's Church, Cornwall, October 2024

The church of St Feock, near the lovely Cornish town of Falmouth, very kindly invited Cwmbran Baroque Singers to sing a concert there on the evening of Saturday 12th October.

The programme followed the theme Sun, Sea and Tranquillity. Works included music by, among others, Dering (16th century), Purcell (17th century), Bruckner and Mendelssohn (19th century), Mansel Thomas and Leonard Bernstein (20th century). Eric Whitacre and Philip Stopford represented the 21st century.

The weather was gloriously warm and sunny all weekend and we received an equally warm, sunny welcome from the lovely folk of Feock. There was plenty of time to enjoy a meal together, a stay at The Royal Duchy Hotel on the seafront in Falmouth, some hours of sightseeing and shopping in the town and a visit to Trelissick House and Gardens, before gathering at the church to rehearse.

After rehearsing we were treated to some substantial refreshments in the church. In addition, the whole audience and choir were plyed with freshly baked Cornish Pasties at the end of the evening's concert. Thank you so much, St Feock's Church.
