Sheringham & Cromer Choral Society
Sheringham and Cromer Choral Society (SCCS) are delighted to announce that the Society has been awarded a Grants for the Arts funding award of £31,110 by Arts Council England towards the costs of commissioning and performing a major new choral work from the renowned composer (and former Classic FM composerin-residence) Patrick Hawes who lives nearby in north Norfolk.
Grants for the Arts awards are for activities carried out over a set period and which engage people in England in arts activities, and help artists and arts organisations in England carry out their work. Such support is crucial to the success of this project and the Choral Society is now seeking additional grants and sponsorship to cover the remaining costs.
The new work will be performed for the first time in 2014 to commemorate the centenary of the outbreak of WW1. Based upon Edith Cavell’s own notes and annotations in her personal copy of Thomas a Kempis’ Of the Imitation of Christ, the composition will be large scale choral work with solo soprano, chorus, children’s choir and chamber orchestra and organ. We plan to have the first performance on Saturday 12 July 2014 in Norwich Cathedral where Edith Cavell is buried and remembered especially on the anniversary of her death/execution in 1915.
