Forthcoming Concerts & EventsWorkshop - Dream of Gerontius - Elgar Saturday, 2 March 2019 Windsor Parish Church Dream of Gerontius - Elgar Saturday, 23 March 2019, 7:30 pm Eton College School Hall Elgar’s
famous ‘The Dream of Gerontius’ is one of the greatest English choral works
ever composed. This large-scale work has
so many memorable sections in it featuring brilliantly scored items for chorus
and orchestra, such as the tremendously dramatic Demons’ Chorus and the
magnificent Choir of Angelicals’ ‘Praise to the Holiest in the height’. There
is also much deeply moving music for a semi chorus and three solo singers –
especially heroic music for Gerontius (tenor), radiant music for the Angel
(contralto) and two powerful sections for the bass soloist. Elgar’s ‘The Dream of Gerontius’ provides the
unique experience of a major choral
work, which contains both outstanding drama and beauty. _________ Come & Sing Tuesday 14 May 2019, 7 pm Eton College School Hall __________________ Requiem - Verdi Saturday, 28 September 2019, 7:30 pm Eton College School Hall Verdi’s
Requiem is one of the most thrilling choral masterpieces ever composed. This great work appeared towards the end of
Verdi’s life at a time when he had already created such famous operas as
‘Aida’, ‘Il Trovatore’ and ‘La Traviata,
Verdi’s unique musical creation of the Requiem provides strong dramatic
music, which is brilliantly contrasted with magical sections of music with a
quieter nature. The ‘Dies irae’ and
‘Tuba mirum’ are two of the most exciting sections of choral music ever
composed and there are many more different parts of the score featuring
glorious choral music alongside wonderfully varied radiant and dramatic music
for the four solo singers. Verdi’s outstanding
setting of the Requiem Mass is a unique masterpiece. _________  Click here to be notified when bookings are about to open for a concert. See also 'Concert-diary' for other classical concerts |
