2010 Music Festival Programme
FRIDAY 18 JUNE - 7:00pm - 8:00pmChacombe Church
Scenes from A Fountain Sealed, a new opera by Nathan Williamson to a libretto by Thomas Walton.
An unashamedly romantic yet timely and compelling new work, A Fountain Sealed explores the conflicts between individual relationships and the contemporary Church, and the tensions between personal faith, private passions and public image. The evening will begin with a short discussion on the work's origins with composer, librettist and director.

The Festival Finale - we maintain Chacombe's tradition of commissioning new work after Sophie Large's writings in her book 'Sophie's Log', performing them alongside more established greats from the chamber repertoire. After the interval, the thoughts of children and nursery rhymes move to the reflections of a long and well-lived life in this romantic Salmagundi of Song, concluding the evening with some of the most famous and best-loved items of the entire vocal repertoire.--- This year's Festival will also be accompanied by an Exhibition of paintings in Sophie's Barn by George Irvine. George is a local artist who works from his studio in Oxfordshire, frequently exhibiting in the local area and across the UK. See www.georgeirvinefineart.co.uk
