Kodaly Duo -Violin and Cello op. 7
Beethoven Kreutzer Sonata for violin & piano
The concert will be at the Church of St Michael and All Angels, Brimington, Chesterfield, starting at 7.30 pm.
Tickets are £5 from the Choir Box Office (Phyllis Brown 0114 2367236), or on the door. Refreshments will be available. The venue complies with the Disability Discrimination Act; having disabled access and a toilet accessible by key nearby.
There's some local content: not just Percy Snowdon's folk song arrangements (which have been performed in several parts of the world), but also some modern song arrangements by the late John Earwaker, who founded the choir.
Norton is at the southern edge of the city, and nearer to Coal Aston than to the city centre. Norton Church is on Norton Lane: not the westerly part that runs directly parallel to Bochum Parkway, but at the bend where the almost-northerly stretch meets the almost-easterly. There is a small loop Norton Church Road, but if you can't find parking there or on the Lane, there should be plenty enough on Matthews Lane off Hemsworth Road - a better bet for many, depending on where you start from. The whole road layout seems to be designed to puzzle strangers, but really it's easy enough if you look at the map: Google Maps using S8 8JQ is pretty helpful. I can't comment on bus routes. If you know where to find the Highland cattle in Graves Park, it's a short walk from there.
Tickets - £8 (£4 students and senior citizens) - accompanied under 16's will be admitted for free.

Cousin John is a full-length musical about the life of John the Baptist. A cast of 12 is supplemented by choruses of adults (SATB) and children. The orchestration is for flute, oboe, clarinet, trumpet, percussion, keyboard and string quintet, though performance with keyboard only would be possible. The show explores John Earwaker's interesting insights into John the Baptist and other characters in the story, and can hold the interest regardless of religious persuasion.
The concert will be conducted by John Longstaff and the soloist will be Peter Foggitt making a welcome return to Sheffield.
