There is always something going on at Wymondham Abbey. Over the summer, it is host to a diverse assortment of concerts, including a choral performance in July from the King’s Men of King’s College, Cambridge, and a duo performance in August from multi-talented pop-music performers Eleanor Grant and Gus McQuade.
The King’s Men are formed from the Choir of King’s College. The Choir is renowned for its yearly Christmas radio broadcast, A Festival of Nine Lessons and Carols, and its regular BBC television programme Carols from King’s. The King’s Men, a separate subsection of the main choir, have performed globally and specialise in close-harmony singing.
Eleanor and Gus teamed up while undergraduates at the Royal Academy of Music. They specialise in strikingly eclectic genre blending. Their debut album, Seasons in Time, encompasses both 16th Century lute songs and modern arrangements of folk and jazz, and their concert repertoire ranges from Benjamin Britten to Joni Mitchell! Their first single, ‘The Cuckoo’, is out now and available on all major music streaming services.
Don’t miss out on the Abbey’s eclectic array of performers this summer. The King’s Men’s concert is at 7pm, Thursday 24th July, and Eleanor and Gus at 7pm, Thursday 7th August. For more information, visit the Abbey’s website.
