Tying the Choral Knot!

Godalming Choral Society Summer Concert 2026

Come to the wedding! Wherever we are in our own lives we all enjoy going to a summer wedding – the flowers, the happiness and of course the music.

Led by amazing conductor George de Voil, Godalming’s own choir is celebrating the wonderful range and variety of wedding music: something old, something new, something borrowed and something blue! Older music includes Mozart’s famous Exultate, the eternal Bach Jesu Joy of Man’s Desiring, and Coleridge Taylor’s evocation of a different culture, Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast. ‘New’ music includes a choir version of Elvis Presley’s hit song I can’t help falling in love with you. Then we borrow St John’s well restored Bishop organ for Widor’s rousing Toccata, usually played as the new couple leave the church; you will be blasted down the aisle! ‘Blues’ are represented Cole Porter’s Let’s Do It! Something for everyone in this programme!

This feast will be held in a church in which many weddings have been celebrated, St. John’s Farncombe, on Saturday 27th June at 7.30. Come and enjoy! Interval bar – take your drink into the garden.
