MOZART REQUIEM

A big thank you to all who took part in the Mozart Requiem concert on Saturday 21st October. The choir and orchestra performed to a large and appreciate audience.

“…an excellent evening of high-quality music-making in the city. A major choral work was performed to a high standard by a large, well-prepared choir, with very good soloists and orchestral accompaniment. Good audience turnout and publicity. Really good to see audience numbers return to the sort of pre-covid turnout of the past.”

“The amalgamation of the soloists, orchestra and choir on one platform all performing to such a high standard was a joy…”

“It was a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. The music was beautiful, a delight to come and listen to.”
