Come & Sing Faurè Requiem. 9th May. St Georges Church, Ticknall

Early Notice of next exciting concert.
'Stravinsky's Symphony of Psalms (1930) is widely considered one of his greatest vocal masterpieces, a work of profound, unironic religious expression and a cornerstone of 20th-century music. Reviews consistently praise its unique instrumentation (no violins or violas, a large chorus, and a focus on wind instruments), neoclassical structure, and spiritual power. '
The programme includes two non choral interludes. A taste of Mozart ' Don Giovanni Highlights for Wind Ensemble' and some popular organ pieces played by the Cathedral organists.
All three modern works include sections of breathtakingly moving beauty.
