Te Deum is a jubilant work full of the pleasing tunefulness and bouncy rhythms that are the hallmarks of Rutter’s style. As this is also Advent Sunday, the programme will be completed with music for Advent.

La Traviata

At one of her lavish parties, celebrated Parisan courtesan Violetta is introduced to Alfredo Germont.

As intimate as it is sumptuous, La Traviata features some of opera’s most famous melodies, and is a star vehicle for its leading soprano role sung by Ermonela Jaho. In director Richard Eyre’s world of seductive grandeur, the tender and devastating beauty at the centre of Verdi’s opera shines bright.

Fugue Fest
2026-02-06 19:00 - 21:00 | Pamoja Hall, The Space Sevenoaks School, Sevenoaks, Kent, TN13 1HU, United Kingdom
This concert is a celebration of one of music history’s most intricate and challenging compositional forms in all its guises, from solemn mastery to playful parody. The programme traces the evolution of the fugue from the prototypes in the hands of Frescobaldi to the crowning achievements in the hands of J. S. Bach, before proceeding to Clara Schumann’s and Shostakovich’s attempts at homage to this venerable genre.
In the second half, Fugue Fest loosens its collar and laughs at itself, as the fugue’s academic rigour is turned on its head by musical humourists Erik Satie and Peter Schickele (aka P. D. Q. Bach). Their witty takes expose the absurdities and joys lurking beneath contrapuntal perfection.
The evening culminates in Ernst Toch’s Geographical Fugue for spoken chorus, which will unite the performers in a joyous, collective tribute to the fugue’s astonishing endurance and versatility.

Nikolai Gogol crafts a biting satire of bureaucratic corruption and human folly. When a small town mistakes a lowly civil servant for a powerful inspector, chaos and comic deception ensue, exposing the vanity and vice of officials desperate to cover their tracks.

Woolf Works
2026-02-15 14:00 - 18:00 | Pamoja Hall, The Space Sevenoaks School, Sevenoaks, Kent, TN13 1HU, United Kingdom
Virginia Woolf defied literary conventions to depict rich inner worlds – her heightened, startling and poignant reality. Resident Choreographer Wayne McGregor leads a luminous artistic team to evoke Woolf’s signature stream of consciousness writing style in this immense work that rejects traditional narrative structures.
Woolf Works is a collage of themes from Mrs Dalloway, Orlando, The Waves and Woolf’s other writings. Created in 2015 for The Royal Ballet, this Olivier-award winning ballet triptych captures the heart of Woolf’s uniquely artistic spirit.
