This concert features wonderful lyrical works by Gabriel Fauré together with three coronation anthems.
Fauré composed his Requiem in D minor, Op. 48, between 1887 and 1890. It is the best-known of his large works. Its focus is on eternal rest and consolation. The Cantique dates from 1865 when Faure was twenty years old and earned him a premier prix in composition at the École Niedermeyer in Paris.
We have soprano and baritone soloists – Phoebe is in her final year at Pangbourne College and going on to study voice. Tom is an alumnus of ENO’s Opera Works, a graduate of the University of Durham and the Royal Northern College of Music. He performs regularly as a soloist throughout the UK and internationally. Performances include Bach’s St. Matthew Passion in Bury St. Edmunds Cathedral; Orff’s Carmina Burana with the Liverpool Philharmonic Choir and Orchestra and Puccini’s Messa di Gloria in Blackburn Cathedral.
It is our first concert led by our new music director Chris McDade – who has seen us through the restrictions imposed by the Covid-19 pandemic. It promises to be an uplifting event.
Tickets £10 (18 & under £5) are available from Choral Society members, at Garlands Organic and Natural in Pangbourne, on the night on the door, and online by clicking this button:
