During lockdown, in May 2020, Zoom Church was
introduced to the Hambleden Valley and we soon
discovered the Voices St Martin-in the-Fields
who wonderfully provided us (and the rest of the
nation) with hymns each week. We continue to
download these hymns on Zoom each Sunday. I'm
delighted to say that we now have the
opportunity to see and hear the Voices in one of
our own churches as the St Martin’s Voices are
coming to Hambleden to give a concert on
Saturday 30th October 2021 at 7.00pm. Do come
along to what promises to be a delightful
evening! The proceeds of the concert will be
shared between our own churches and St Martin’s.
Please see below for ordering tickets and for
details of the concert; some paper tickets will
also be available soon. Posters and flyers to
follow.

The Concert
The night before lockdown in March 2020, members
of St Martin’s Voices gathered in a dimly lit St
Martin-in-the-Fields for one final time to
record the music for a service led by the
Archbishop of Canterbury, broadcast to the
nation on the BBC. The service opened with the
hymn ‘Lord of all hopefulness’.
This hour-long concert reflects on themes of
love, hope, joy and peace drawn from this
much-loved hymn, and includes music drawn from
over four centuries of choral masterpieces,
including works by Thomas Tallis, Hubert Parry,
John Stainer, Amy Beach, Ola Gjeilo and James
MacMillan.
St Martin’s Voices is one of London’s most
versatile professional vocal ensembles, resident
at St Martin-in-the-Fields. They sing for
concerts, broadcasts and special services at St
Martin’s and beyond, perform alongside the
Academy of St Martin in the Fields, London
Mozart Players, Southbank Sinfonia and Will Todd
Ensemble, and have toured to the USA and South
Africa. They regularly feature in BBC broadcasts
including Radio 3 Choral Evensong and Radio 4
Sunday Worship. In response to the challenges of
the COVID-19 pandemic, St Martin’s Voices have
extended their digital recording projects,
sharing regular online Great Sacred Music and
concerts, as well as featuring in the Church of
England online worship resources that have
attracted more than 1 million downloads across
digital platforms.
