Thursday 2nd May, Sherborne Abbey

Our 2024 performance opens the Sherborne Abbey Festival. We’ve a great mix of choral music for our concert, which marks the centenary of the death of Fauré. We’ll be singing his lovely setting of the Requiem – a favourite with choirs and audiences alike. The contrasting second half is John Rutter’s lively and colourful setting of the Magnificat, which conjures up the sunshine of Spain and South America and their lively street festivals celebrating the Virgin Mary.

We’ll be joined again by the wonderful players of Chameleon Arts Orchestra, and local soprano Amelia Monaghan, and the performance will be conducted by our Musical Director, Paul Ellis.

Rehearsals start on Sunday 4 February: you can see a full list here. We’re fully subscribed for the season, but if you’d like to sing on a rehearsals-only basis (sometimes performance places do become available), then get in touch with us.
