For nearly a decade now,\u00a0 St. Nicholas has been offering free concerts on the afternoon of the third Sunday of the month. The contributors are largely amateurs, although we have also had professionals who wish to use the occasion as a chance to rehearse. The range of music is generally what one would call \u2018light classical\u2019, although the programmes in the past have included Verdi\u2019s Requiem, <\/em>Schubert\u2019s Die Sch\u00f6ne M\u00fclerin,<\/em>, Gershwin, and John Dunstable (a fourteenth-century composer).<\/p>\n Our range of performers has been equally wide: Soprano, Mezzo-soprano, Tenor and baritone soloists;, a harpist; the Warwick Community brass band; flautists; a chamber ensemble \u2026 the list is endless. We have also encouraged young players and singers to come and give performances \u2013 often their first outside school —\u00a0 to what has always been a sympathetic and welcoming audience.<\/p>\n The concerts take place at 3 pm on the third Sunday of every month except August and December (in the latter case they are replaced by our festival of lessons and carols), and usually last for an hour to 90 minutes. Admission is free<\/strong>; and although there is always an appeal for donations to the upkeep of the church or sometimes a specific local charity, there is no pressure to donate. Refreshments of tea, coffee, squash and excellent home-made cakes are available, again for donations rather than priced, usually during an interval but occasionally at the end of a shorter concert.<\/p>\n Concerts are advertised on our website and facebook pages, and posters are in supermarkets and information centres. We are always delighted to hear from people who would like the opportunity to play in front of a fairly small but very friendly audience<\/p>\n
