Fauré: Requiem
Event Information
About this event
Voxcetera chamber choir sings Gabriel Fauré's much-loved, consoling masterpiece, conducted by Jane Hopkins with guests Ellie Sperling (soprano) and Jamie Sperling (baritone), accompanied by violin, cello, harp and organ.
As well as the requiem, the concert will feature Fauré's Cantique de Jean Racine; a selection from Gustav Holst's Choral Hymns from the Rig Veda, a collection of ancient Indian sacred texts; and Henry Balfour Gardiner’s dramatic Evening Hymn.
And you'll hear beautiful music from contemporary composers: the hypnotic Northern Lights by Ola Gjeilo and the sun-drenched love song Quanto sei bella by Paul Ayres.
With Rowena Kennally (violin), James Douglas (cello), Rachel Wick (Harp) and Simon Hogan (organ). Requiem accompaniment arranged by David Hill.
A licensed bar will be open before the performance and during the interval.
