Battersea Choral Society – Mozart’s Requiem – 7:30pm
Battersea Choral Society is delighted to be performing Mozart’s Requiem on 30th October. It is extraordinary to think that Mozart began composing this Requiem when he himself was terminally ill, aged 35. Süssmayr, one of Mozart’s pupils, was chosen to complete the work after Mozart had sketched and outlined most of the movements. Still, the Requiem is appropriately seen as a true work of Mozart.
To start the evening, the choir will perform one of Haydn’s most popular and dramatic motets ~ Insanae et Vanae Curae together with a timeless gem from Mozart ~ Ave verum corpus.
We greatly look forward to welcoming our audience to Holy Trinity, Sloane Square. Attendees will be encouraged to wear face coverings during the performance.

Upcoming Events
Duruflé Requiem – Twickenham Choral – 7pm
Join Twickenham Choral for a moving performance of Maurice Duruflé's Requiem in the beautiful surroundings of Holy Trinity Sloane Square. Composed in 1947, this deeply spiritual work blends Gregorian chant with rich harmonies to create an atmosphere of serenity and hope. Unlike more dramatic settings of the Requiem Mass, Duruflé's version offers a message of peace and consolation.
The concert also includes a performance of Rob Fenton's Ave Verum and music from cellist Oliver Simpson.
Twickenham Choral is conducted by Howard Ionascu. The choir will be joined by acclaimed soloists Cathy Bell mezzo soprano and Alexander Hopkins baritone, and accompanied by organist Andrew Lumsden.
Interstellar Plus – Roger Sayer – 7pm
Interstellar Organist Roger Sayer returns to Holy Trinity to play the original Hans Zimmer soundtrack, as well as music from other Sci-Fi films.
