Come experience music that speaks straight to the soul in a choral concert that takes you on a radiant, transformative journey. Maurice Duruflé’s famous Requiem (1947) is a masterpiece of breathtaking beauty and power. Full of yearning intensity, the rich modern harmonies are rooted in ancient Gregorian chants, and the sweeping choral arcs carry us from darkness into blazing transcendence. The 55-strong choir, directed by Dr Greg Caisley, will be accompanied by the brilliant organist David Poon, with soloists Melanie Adams (mezzo-soprano) and David Rosborough (baritone). The concert culminates in three luminous short works by Morten Lauridsen, one of today’s most beloved choral composers: Introit from Lux Aeterna, Ave Maria, and Sure on this Shining Night.
