The Sooke Philharmonic Chamber Players and Chorus will host their annual Tea and Symphony concert on Feb. 4.
Tea and Symphony is Sooke’s version of the ever popular Boston Pops where the audience sits around tables with friends and enjoy the informal atmosphere.
There will be a variety of music from Mozart to Offenbach to Piazzolla. There will be several soloists – Sooke’s own soprano, Nancy Washeim, will sing arias by Handel and Haydn, the Sooke Philharmonic’s choral director Nicholas Fairbank will conduct the orchestra and will be the soloist in a movement of Mozart’s Piano Concerto No.20.
Fairbank will also present the chorus in some of its favourite pieces to include Pachelbel’s famous Canon, Tea for Two and Zadok the Priest (Handel’s Coronation Anthem). Other highlights will include a set of Celtic music and song, also a quartet of tubas.
Tea and Symphony begins at 2:30 pm at Sooke Community Hall.
