The renowned London-based choral quartet, Sonare, have embarked on a concert tour – including a treat for us in Buriton.
The history and heritage of choral music stretches across the ages and from around the world and Sonare describe Great Britain’s contribution as “essential, stirring and sensational.”
Their programme will feature unmissable favourites alongside underappreciated gems, with fascinating musical history commentary from the singers themselves.

St. Mary’s Church is in earnest need of help …
Help is needed to bolster the small team of ageing volunteers who currently maintain the cemetery in South Lane.
As a result of the pandemic, the church has lost the services of the Community Payback Team which did such a good job at cutting and clearing away.
As it stands, the church simply cannot maintain the space to the same standard with the resources it has.
St. Mary’s would be extremely grateful to anyone who has a few hours to spare and would be prepared to join them occasionally to help with this valuable task.
