Britain's What's On Event Guide
Newbury Chamber Choir - From Darkness to Light
Puccini's Requiem was premiered in 1905 to commemorate the fourth anniversary of the death of Giuseppe Verdi. Although only a single movement it is moving and deeply expressive.
Vaughan Williams' Fantasia on Christmas Carols draws on traditional English folk melodies to create a warm and atmospheric celebration of the Christmas season, bringing moments of tenderness, joy and nostalgia.
Gabriel Fauré's Requiem is surely one of the most beloved choral works ever written. Unlike many settings of the Requiem Mass, Fauré's vision is not one of fear and judgement but of serenity and eternal rest.
Also: Herbert Howells: A Hymn for St Cecilia and Amy Beach: Peace I leave with you
Musical Director: Ben de Souza. Organ: Simon Dinsdale
Soprano: Johanna Chambers Baritone: Thomas Humphreys
