SUMMARY:The First Movement - A String Orchestra Concert
DESCRIPTION:A new orchestra. Its very first concert. And a Chapel that has been standing for centuries. \nThis November\, we’re delighted to welcome The Orchestra Session to the Hospital of St Cross for The First Movement – the debut performance from Winchester’s newest orchestra. \nTwenty string players will come together in the extraordinary surroundings of our medieval Chapel for an evening featuring some of classical music’s best-known and best-loved works\, alongside pieces that might introduce you to something new. \nThe programme opens with J.S. Bach’s exhilarating Brandenburg Concerto No. 3 and beautiful Air from Orchestral Suite No. 3\, before moving through Pachelbel’s instantly recognisable Canon in D and selections from Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons. \nThere will also be Mendelssohn’s String Symphony No. 10 in B minor\, before the second half is given over to Dvořák’s glorious Serenade for Strings\, Op. 22. \nIt’s a programme with plenty for seasoned concert-goers to enjoy\, but also a very approachable place to start if you don’t regularly find yourself sitting in front of an orchestra. \nAnd The Orchestra Session itself is doing things a little differently. \nA new kind of orchestra\nThe Orchestra Session brings professional and exceptional amateur musicians together on equal footing\, with every player paid the same professional rate for the same role. \nIt’s not simply a nice principle sitting in the background; fair treatment of musicians is part of the foundation on which the orchestra has been built. \nEstablished as a Community Interest Company\, The Orchestra Session also has ambitions that stretch beyond its own performances. A fixed share of ticket revenue will be donated to organisations helping children and adults access instruments\, tuition and ensembles they might otherwise be unable to afford. \nSo your ticket helps make this first concert possible – and helps open the door to music for somebody else too. \nBe there from the first note\nThere’s always something rather exciting about witnessing the beginning of a new venture\, and The First Movement offers the chance to do exactly that. \nThe setting should make the occasion particularly memorable. \nThe ancient stone and soaring arches of the Chapel at St Cross have provided a place for worship and music for hundreds of years. On a November evening\, with twenty string players filling that space with Bach\, Vivaldi\, Mendelssohn and Dvořák\, it promises to be rather special. \nWhether you can name every piece on the programme\, recognise a few without quite knowing where from\, or simply like the sound of an evening of beautiful live music in one of Winchester’s most remarkable historic buildings\, you’ll be very welcome. \nCome and take your seat for The First Movement – and be there at the beginning. \nEvent details\nThe First Movement – The Orchestra Session\nSaturday 21 November 2026\n7.30pm\nThe Chapel\, Hospital of St Cross\, Winchester \nTickets:\n£23 standard\n£12 concessions – students\, under-25s and unwaged \nTickets are available directly from The Orchestra Session: https://theorchestrasessionconcert.eventbrite.co.uk \n

SUMMARY:A Christmas Carol – The Three Inch Fools at The Hospital of St Cross
DESCRIPTION:Monday 30 November\, Tuesday 1st December & Wednesday 2 December 2026 | 7pmThe Hospital of St Cross\, Winchester \nMarley was dead\, to begin with… \nThis winter\, The Three Inch Fools return to the Hospital of St Cross with a magical new stage production of Charles Dickens’ A Christmas Carol. \nOn a bitterly cold Christmas Eve\, the clock strikes midnight and Ebenezer Scrooge receives the first of a series of otherworldly visitors. Forced to confront his past\, present and the future that awaits him\, can this most miserly of men change his fate before it is too late? \nBlending illusion\, live music and spine-tingling storytelling\, The Three Inch Fools bring Dickens’ great supernatural tale vividly to life\, embracing all the ghosts\, darkness and strange happenings that have made A Christmas Carol such an enduring part of Christmas. \nAnd there can be few better places to encounter it than St Cross after dark\, set in our atmospheric Brethren’s Hall. \nThe Three Inch Fools are no strangers to performing in extraordinary historic surroundings. Since launching in 2015\, the touring company has performed at more than 200 venues across the UK\, becoming known for imaginative\, musically driven productions that make full use of the character and atmosphere of the places in which they perform. \nAfter celebrating their tenth anniversary in 2025\, A Christmas Carol marks their first ever Christmas touring production – swapping their familiar summer adventures for something altogether more intimate\, wintry and ghostly. \nAt its heart\, of course\, this is also a story of hope\, redemption and discovering that it is never quite too late to change. \nWhether Dickens at Christmas is already a firmly established tradition or you simply fancy an atmospheric evening of storytelling in one of Winchester’s most remarkable historic places\, wrap up warm and join us. \nJust keep an eye out for ghosts……. \nPerformance details\nMonday 30 November\, Tuesday 1st December & Wednesday 2 December 2026 7pmThe Brethren’s Hall – The Hospital of St Cross\, Winchester \nEvery Evening: Pre performance drinks and mince pies\, Plus interval drinks\, etc\, will be served in the Tudor Kitchen or the Hundred Men’s Hall \nParking: Please email office@hospitalofstcross.co.uk if you would like to reserve a Blue Badge space.
