Battersea Choral Society – The Dream of Gerontius – 7:30pm
Battersea Choral Society is performing Edward Elgar's magnificent oratorio The Dream of Gerontius.
For this performance we are delighted to be joined by The Tiffin Chamber Choir with mezzo soprano Catherine Hopper, tenor Andrew Staples, baritone James Cleverton and The Battersea Ensemble, all under the expert baton of Sam Evans.
Widely considered to be one of Elgar's finest works, it sets John Henry Newman's poem to music. It is a thrilling ride through meetings with demons and angels as it relates a devout man's journey after death to the soothing lake of Purgatory and the promise of re-awakening in Glory.

Hailed by Betjeman as the Arts and Crafts cathedral, Holy Trinity Sloane Square provides the magnificent backdrop for the eclectic repertoire which kicks off the 40th anniversary season of the renowned Crouch End Festival Chorus.
This concert of a cappella works features Tallis’s glorious 40-part motet Spem in alium, the ethereal, lyrical Mass in G minor by Vaughan Williams, and Allegri’s mesmerising Miserere. The concert is completed by Rheinberger’s gentle lullaby Abendlied, and three pieces from the recently released Oxford Book of Choral Music by Black Composers.
