What's on

St Hubert's ‘One Word, Many Notes' - Valeria Clarke & Daniel Ephgrave

for 2 hours
St Hubert
Old Idsworth Finchdean Waterlooville, PO8 0BA, United Kingdom

For our October concert in our series, we are very lucky to have the wonderful pairing of Valeria Clarke and Daniel Ephgrave.

Their programme will be shaped around the word zephyr, a gentle breeze, exploring the music of Debussy, Tchaikovsky and Bach, amongst others. The combination of flute and harp is one of the most beautiful in chamber music and so, in the intimate acoustic of St Hubert’s, their sound will have a particular magic.

Valeria is a scholar at the Royal College of Music. She regularly performs at the Royal Albert Hall and Wigmore Hall and her recordings for film and television include Bridgerton and Saltburn. Daniel combines West End and orchestral experience with performances alongside the CBSO and Philharmonia, in a career that spans concert hall, theatre and chamber music.

St Hubert's Church ‘One Word, Many Notes' - Portsmouth Cathedral Choir

for 2 hours
St Hubert
Old Idsworth Finchdean Waterlooville, PO8 0BA, United Kingdom

In November, we are honoured to welcome members of the Portsmouth Cathedral Choir for a special concert of music of remembrance.

Recognised as one of the South of England’s most respected Cathedral choirs, Portsmouth Cathedral Choir is known for the clarity, depth and expressive power of its singing.

This programme will reflect the spirit of remembrance: music of reflection, hope and quiet strength. In the stillness of St Hubert’s, this will be a perfect space for memory, gratitude and contemplation. An evening of choral music that honours the past while offering a reflection of the present.
