Dates for your diary

Saturday 4th July 2026 – 6pm

St Wilfrid’s School, Old Horsham Road, Crawley, RH11 8PG 

An indoor concert – bring a picnic to enjoy outdoors or indoors during the extended interval. 

To mark the 250th anniversary of American Independence, Phoenix Choir of Crawley present a choral concert of music that reflects American history, in the cantata Hiawatha’s Wedding Feast by Samuel Coleridge-Taylor, and features some of our favourite songs from American composers, including Samuel Barber (Sure on this Shining Night), Scott Joplin (The Entertainer), Eric Whitacre (The Seal Lullaby), Aaron Copland (Simple Gifts), Leonard Bernstein (from West Side Story), Ysaye M. Barnwell (Wanting Memories), George & Ira Gershwin (Summertime) and more.  With our professional orchestra and professional tenor soloist Paul Austin Kelly, this promises to be a memorable musical evening. 

This indoor PICNIC CONCERT will start early and will have an extended interval during which the audience and performers can enjoy their picnics – outdoors if the weather is kind to us, or indoors if not!  Bring your own picnic, drinks (alcoholic and non-alcoholic) will be for sale, or you can bring your own.
There is car parking on site, and level access to the main school hall where the concert will take place. 
Tickets for adults are £15 in advance or £16 on the door.  Full time students tickets are £7. Children age 16 or under are admitted free (maximum of three per paying adult). Tickets available through Ticketsource here 

 

 

Rehearsals are on Thursday’s at St Andrew’s Church, Furnace Green from 7.45pm-9.45pm (during term time).
