Brahms Requiem for Remembrance
You are warmly invited to join us for a performance of Brahms’ Ein Deutsches Requiem on Remembrance Sunday. The work’s focus, using a series of Biblical texts (including from the psalms) chosen by the composer, not the traditional Requiem text, is on comfort and consolation, on those who have lost loved ones. As such it is fitting for the season of Remembrance. The sublime music will be sung by the excellent Holy Trinity Consort, an extension of the HT evensong choir, who have already sung two large-scale works this year - Bach’s St John Passion and Haydn’s Creation. They will be accompanied by a professional chamber ensemble - violin, viola, cello, flute, oboe, clarinet and piano, the latter played by David Goode, in an arrangement of the work by Iain Farrington. The soloists are (new HT soprano choral scholar) Daisy Livesey and baritone Alex Bower-Brown. Tickets £15 on the door, or at www.ticketsource.co.uk/sloanechurch

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.
