A NATIONWIDE concert tour celebrating the 400th anniversary of the publication of the King James Bible comes to Sherborne this week.
This year marks the 400th anniversary of the publication of the King James Bible. Whenever we put words into someone’s mouth, see the writing on the wall, go from strength to strength, fight the good fight, read the signs of the times, find a fly in the ointment or eat, drink and be merry, we are quoting the King James Bible.
In addition to shaping the way we speak and providing a handbook for Christian worship it has also inspired music.
Actor Lance Pierson has joined forces with soprano Belinda Yates and pianist Heather Chamberlain to put together a special concert to celebrate the Bible’s words and music.
The performance is on Thursday, September 29 at 7.30pm in the Powell Theatre, Abbey Road, Sherborne. Tickets are £7.50 from The Parish Office, 3 Abbey Close, Sherborne and by calling 01935 812452.
