Chamber Choir Viva La Musica has become recognised locally as one of the more exciting vocal ensembles performing across the East Midlands. The Loughborough-based choir attracts singers from a wide area. Its repertoire ranges across the centuries and embraces both sacred and secular music in various styles. Simon Lumby conducts the choir.
‘Now is the month of Maying’ is a concert celebrating nature and the season. It will include a selection of madrigals and works by Lauridsen, Finzi and Rachmaninoff.
This late-afternoon concert will last approximately an hour and a quarter. There will be refreshments to follow.
A diverse selection of 12 gardens will open during the Milton Open Gardens event this year. Gardens will be open on 2 June in the afternoon between 1:00 pm and 5:00 pm in the normally quiet hamlet of Milton, South Derbyshire. There will be 9 along Main Street and 3 at The Waterworks. This year there are 3 gardens new to the event and one that has been ‘resting’ for a few years.
Sizes vary from a small courtyard to extensive gardens with styles ranging from cottage garden, low maintenance and some with more formal features.
There will be free parking in the centre of Milton and at The Waterworks. Admission is £5.00 for adults, and accompanied children under 16 are free. (Some gardens do not allow dogs). Tickets are available on the day adjacent to the car park.
Expect to find trees, shrubs, lawns, flowers, vegetables and ponds – something for everyone, and all the gardens, in Milton and at The Waterworks, are within easy walking distance of each other.
There will be live music courtesy of Boss&CO with refreshments including homemade cakes available in the Village Hall, with Tombola, stalls and plants for sale on the grass opposite.
Profits are in aid of the local Air Ambulance and Milton Community Lunch Club.
A warm Milton welcome awaits visitors old and new.
