About the event
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow wrote the poem set to music by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, a classic cantata.
The powerful lyrics of this song take us on a journey to Hiawatha’s wedding feast. We are introduced to various characters and their roles in the celebration. Pau-Puk-Keewis, the handsome mischief-maker, dances to entertain the guests. Chibiabos, the sweetest of all singers, sings songs of love and longing. The atmosphere is filled with joy and contentment as the feast progresses.
We also sing The Sprig of Thyme, a cycle of folk-song settings arranged by John Rutter.
Refreshments will be served in the interval.
TICKETS are £12 / under 16's free. See main menu for details of purchase.
