LEVENS Choir is back on the concert trail performing at Kendal's St Thomas's Church next Tuesday (7.30pm) with a programme entitled Vaughan Williams and the Tudor Inheritance.

The popular choristers stage Vaughan Williams's Mass in G minor along with other fairly short pieces from the same era by Tallis and Byrd.

The first half of the performance includes madrigals, anthems and instrumental music from the 16th Century for which the choir will be joined by Elizabeth Dodd and Philip Gruar playing viols, recorders and the lute.

In one piece for recorder quartet, Elizabeth and Philip will be joined by two young members of the choir, Tom Gray and Joanna Lawrence, who are also part of the Cartmel Music Centre Recorder Quintet bound for the Festival of Music for Youth at London's South Bank on July 8.
