  • Friday 27th March 7:00pm until 8:30pm
Join the Harborough Collective for an evening of quintessentially English music, performed in the atmospheric setting of St Wilfrid’s Church, Kibworth.

Harborough Concerts presents O Albion, a journey through the landscapes and moods of England, past and present, performed by The Harborough Collective and guitarist Mark Ashford. From the soaring skies of Vaughan Williams’ The Lark Ascending to Holst’s vibrant Brook Green Suite, the programme moves through time, memory and imagination, exploring the intimate and hidden corners of the English soundscape. The evening includes the premiere of David Le Page’s ‘A Kibworth Idyll’, a three movement meditation on local village life echoing the worlds of Beauchamp, Harcourt and Smeeton, alongside works by Sting, Elgar, Purcell, Nick Drake and more…
Join us for concert of reflection, lingering pastoral melodies, rousing folk tunes and the poetry woven into the very fabric of England.
