In Remembrance: Duruflé Requiem
Duruflé’s Requiem will lead our commemoration of 100 years since the end of the First World War, with our first concert on the eve of the anniversary itself. The music is inspired by chants from the Gregorian Mass for the Dead, and plainsong provides the basis of the selection of other shorter works in the concert by composers from Rachmaninov to the contemporary British composer David Nunn.

Christmas Concert
Menotti: Amahl and the Night Visitors Britten: A Ceremony of Carols Our Christmas concerts feature two highly imaginative works of the 20th Century. Benjamin Britten’s classic A Ceremony of Carols is paired with a semi-staged performance of the lesser known one-act opera Amahl and the Night Visitors – the first ever written for television – by Gian Carlo Menotti. In his native Italy, the role of Santa Claus is taken by the Three Kings who bring gifts to the children. His childhood love of these characters is the basis for his inspiration, and the opera has become his best-known work. Saturday 8 December 2018 7.30pm

J S Bach B Minor Mass
With the Cambridge Baroque Camerata The scale and grandeur of J.S. Bach’s B Minor Mass almost certainly means it was never meant to be performed within a liturgical setting. It was Bach’s last great choral masterpiece, and was not performed in full until over 100 years after his death. We are delighted to be joined for this incredible work by the Cambridge Baroque Camerata in the Victorian Gothic splendour of St John’s College Chapel, Cambridge. Saturday 16 March 2019 7.30pm
St John’s College Chapel, Cambridge CB2 1TP By kind permission of the Master and Fellows of St John’s College Tickets £25, £15 and £8 (with partial view) Students £6, Under-18s free |

Songs of Farewell
Parry Songs of Farewell Victoria Requiem For our final concerts of the season, we turn to the last great pieces of two very different composers. The Spanish Renaissance composer Victoria’s Requiem Mass, written at the end of the Siglo de Oro (the Spanish Golden Age) is often regarded as a funeral for a departing era, and contrasts beautifully with the work of the English composer Hubert Parry. Written during the First World War, Parry’s six Songs of Farewell can be seen as the pinnacle of his choral compositions, completed in the last year of his life. The movements of the two works are interspersed to provide a unique listening experience Saturday 22 June 2019 7.30pm
