The spring concert features an exciting programme of music, including Mozart's Requiem in D Minor, two lovely works by Mendelssohn and Bruckner, and a special performance of Neruda's Trumpet Concerto in E flat.
The Requiem is well known as Mozart's final, unfinished masterpiece. It's a haunting choral work commissioned anonymously, and shrouded in myth about Mozart believing he was composing it for his own funeral as he died. This powerful Catholic mass for the dead, explores themes of judgment, death, and hope for salvation. It's known for its sublime beauty and emotional depth, blending sacred text with profound personal feeling.
With the choir numbering over 100 singers, this promises to be an evening of unforgettable music. Directed by Benedict Preece, with accompaniment by the resident professional orchestra, they are also thrilled to be joined by vocal soloists from the Royal College of Music and Christopher Deacon on trumpet who will be performing the Neruda Trumpet Concerto.
Tickets £15 in advance or £17.50 on the door.
