Hepton Singers

This event is a fundraiser for The Booth Centre which exists to bring about positive change in the lives of people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, and help them plan for and realise a better future.

The Hepton Singers continue their love affair with the work of contemporary Scottish composer James MacMillan by performing his Missa Brevis at our concerts in November.

At their first rehearsal they all agreed that it is an extraordinary and stunning piece, and they are very much looking forward to singing it. James MacMillan wrote this music when he was only 17 but his inherent musicality, the clarity of his writing and the depth of his faith bring an unusual maturity to the work.

They shall accompany it with motets and other sacred pieces by James MacMillan himself, the Norwegian composer Ola Gjeilo, Giovanni Pierluigi da Palestrina and Antonio Lotti, in what promises to be a contemplative and inspirational concert, not to be missed.
