Come & Sing – Mozart, Fauré & Haydn

Posted on by

Firstly, Autumn Concert thank yous…

Thanks to all the musicians and singers on Monday night at our Dvorak Autumn Concert.  And to our helpers for organising and serving refreshments at our penultimate event in the National Musicians’ Church.

We have appreciated the incredible support and friendship of Holy Sepulchre during the closure of the Great Hall at Barts. Last season, we raised £2,000 for the Cancer Unit at Barts – to be used for improving facilities for patients and staff.  We also donated to Holy Sepulchre from our Come & Sing events.

Thank you all for your continued support and donations, we know it will make a difference to the Cancer Unit.

Come and sing… No need to book – listeners welcome too!

We continue this term preparing for our next event, an instant performance of Mozart Requiem, Fauré Requiem and Haydn Nelson Mass – favourites and well-known repertoire for seasoned singers.

Join us on Saturday 22nd November at Holy Sepulchre, find your voice section and take a seat.

Baton down at 2 pm, when we will be joined by soloists and the orchestra. Refreshment will be available during the breaks and the afternoon’s event is expected to finish by 5 pm.

Entry is free! Donations to Barts Cancer Unit and Holy Sepulchre are welcome (cash only).

Our Easter Concert at Holy Sepulchre, the National Musicians’ Church, starts with Brahms Symphony No 2 in D major, orchestrated for flutes, oboes, clarinets, bassoons, horns, trumpets, trombones, tuba, timpani and strings.

After the interval, the evening will continue with the newly co-commissioned work by British vocalist & composer, Joanna Forbes L’Estrange. Based on Vivaldi’s The Four Seasons, we are pleased to be one of the 53 choirs from around the world to premiere this exciting repertoire.

An evening with Dvorak & Cherubini

Image


Join us for an evening in the company of Dvorak’s Cello Concerto that tells of unrequited love, followed by Cherubini’s Requiem in C Minor, singled out for praise by Beethoven, Schumann and Brahms some two hundred years prior.

Our concerts are currently hosted at ‘The Musicians’ Church’ – Holy Sepulchre Church, Holborn Viaduct – opposite the Old Bailey, around the corner from Barts Hospital.

All ticket profits are donated to Barts Cancer Unit towards that something extra for patients and staff. It would be great to have your company too.

Message us with any questions via our Contact Us page.

Christmas is coming!

Barts Great Hall is now closed for a few years for renovation. Our new home is Holy Sepulchre without Newgate – just down the road opposite the Old Bailey!  The Team at Holy Sepulchre have given us a great welcome – and we held our first public event on Saturday – a “Come & Sing” Mozart Requiem and Nelson Mass. The orchestra of approximately 30 strong and about 60 singers had a wonderful musical day in the Musician’s Church.

Thank you Holy Sepulchre – we have arrived and feel fully welcomed!
