Join us for a programme of exquisite French and English music, culminating in one of the most beloved choral masterpieces ever written, Gabriel Faure’s Requiem.
The concert opens with Fauré’s Cantique de Jean Racine – a vision of peace and devotion that remains deeply moving. The shimmering world of Lili Boulanger’s Les sirènes evokes the mythical song of the sirens.
Ralph Vaughan Williams’ Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis provides a striking contrast with one of the most profound and atmospheric landscapes in all English music.
Finally, Fauré’s Requiem offers tenderness, comfort and eternal rest. From the radiant simplicity of the ‘Pie Jesu’ to the transcendent beauty of ‘In Paradisum’, the Requiem speaks with a humanity and serenity that have made it one of the world’s most cherished choral works.
Spanning the sacred and the secular, the earthly and the transcendent, this programme invites you on a journey of reflection and imagination.
Duration: approx. 2 hours (incl. interval)
