LOCAL choir Philomusica will be performing an Edward Elgar classic at St Peter and St Paul Church, Upton, later this month.

They will be singing the composer’s last oratorio, The Kingdom, and conductor Linda Parsons said: “Elgar’s music has always been at the heart of the choir’s repertoire and we love to sing it. The Kingdom has always been a bit overshadowed by The Dream of Gerontius but I think that’s unfair because The Kingdom contains lots of really glorious music.”

Tickets cost £8 (accompanied under 16s free) and are available online at wegottickets.com, by emailing tickets@philomusica.org, phoning 01905 820140 or on the door.

The concert is at 7.30pm on Saturday, October 29, and there will be a retiring collection in aid of charity Winston’s Wish.
