The next concert after the Rossini Petite Messe Solennelle will Benjamin Britten's St Nicholas on 14th of December 2008 in the West Kirk Helensburgh. Along with this piece, including a children's choir, will be Britten's Ceremony of Carols and McDowell's Christus Natus Est (a treat not to be missed for those that heard the Oratorio's performance of her Ave Maris Stella two years ago. This really promises to be a treat of both living and recent British composers. Put this in your diary now.
