Adventures in the Magical Kingdom

Conductor Alasdair Malloy is the King of The Magical Kingdom and invites every-one to a Grand Ball in his Palace. The music represents the various guests who arrive (Puss in Boots, Robin Hood, The Princess of the Pagodas and assorted Disney characters). The Ball itself begins with the Sleeping Beauty Waltz and finishes with some pieces that showcase some more contemporary dance styles! This popular family concert has moved to the autumn this year. The Guernsey Camerata are delighted that Alasdair Malloy has made time in his busy schedule to return to Guernsey for this concert. Plenty of surprises and fun in store; a real treat!

Special Guest Soloist Nicki Kennedy (Soprano)

Handel – Chandos Anthem “The Lord Is My Light”, Mozart – Regina Coeli K. 108, Haydn – Symphony 104 in D

The Lord is My Light shows Handel at his very best as a composer of choral music. Packed full of exciting and expressive choruses and beautiful solo arias. Regina Coeli is Mozart full of youthful exuberance. Written in Salzburg when he was only 15 it is music of a festive nature with dazzling solos for the Soprano soloist. Symphony 104 is Haydn’s final symphony known as the London Symphony, written and first performed there in 1795. Formed in 2007 The Guernsey Bach Choir has performed a large repertoire of choral music and is now a well-established vocal ensemble with a growing reputation for high standard performances. Tonight they come together with their orchestral friends to perform these great Choral and Orchestral masterpieces.

The Guernsey Concert Brass are delighted to be able to put on our annual festive season concert. This year, more than ever, with all the restrictions that have been in place earlier in the year. The program will include regular, traditional pieces along with some new arrangements. We are very happy to welcome again the Guernsey Music Service Youth Band as our guest artistes.

During the Guernsey Lockdown, singer songwriters kept audiences engaged and entertained from the safety of their homes. Upload Festival CI pulled together performances from across the Channel Islands and scheduled live streams to be shown in a weekend festival format. To celebrate the end of Lockdown, we have invited the Upload Festival to St James, for a live, on stage experience.

“St James is an incredible venue for anyone to play, and we’re so chuffed to be able to offer the experience to local musicians who wouldn’t typically play such stages. A defining moment in my musical adventures was my first time playing the main stage for Sound at St James as Kiya Ashton. As a solo artist, opportunities to play the big stages of festivals don’t come nearly as easy as they do if you’re in a band, but it’s such an incredible feeling to be on a large stage with a large audience, who you’re commanding by just doing what you love. That experience taught me so much about my stage presence on a more subtle and mature level than before, and it’s an experience I’ve been dying to give to more people. I cannot thanks the team behind St James enough for helping all of us give this opportunity.” – Kiya Ashton, organiser of Upload Festival CI

Over two days more than 50 performers will take to the stage – join them for a weekend of (mostly) acoustic music at St James.

Doors open at 12.30pm

Music from 12.45pm – 11pm on Saturday and 12.45pm until 8pm on Sunday

We are so looking forward to opening our doors and welcoming you all in!
