North Herts Guild of Singers with the music of the Mendelssohnshn
Walsworth Road Baptist Church, Hitchin
Saturday, 8 Nov 2025 – 7.30pm
Join the North Herts Guild of Singers as we explore all thing Mendelssohn. Felix's music needs very little introduction - we present possibly his most famous choral work Hear My Prayer (and O for the Wings of a Dove) alongside a beautiful setting of the Ave Maria and a rousing setting of Lauda Sion. His sister Fanny's music is equally spectacular and is gaining increasing popularity within the classical music sphere. We are excited to perform her unjustly neglected cantata Hiob alongside a selection of her popular Gartenlieder.
Conducted by award-winning Harry Bradford, accompanied by Colin Spinks, alongside 4 talented young international soloists
The Mendelssohns - a family affair.
Tickets £15 and £5 full time education, from Mendelssohn – a family affair , Hitchin Information Centre or on the door if available.

Nature Centred Day Retreat
Sunday, 9th Nov
Co-create a sacred and transformative day with a small group of kindred folk, who share your concerns about the climate and other critical issues facing our world. Hold space for each other, through ritual and ceremony as we follow the spiral process of the Work That Reconnects (Joanna Macy's empowering group practices) to, "discover and experience [our] innate connections with each other and the self-healing powers of the web of life, transforming despair and overwhelm into inspired, collaborative action".
Build resilience, give and receive support for our deepest feelings and reconnect with your vital role and purpose in the tranquil surroundings of Michael's Folly.
Find out more about - The Work That Reconnects
Facilitated by Stephanie Killingbeck-Turner and Zoe Betts.
Tickets - £80
