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

21 Oct The Art of Becoming
Mezzo- soprano, Nancy Holt, unpacks how Mozart uses this voice type to capture growing up, falling apart, and coming back together — often all in one aria! Meet Cherubino who can't control his hormones; Dorabella who can't control her heart; and Marcellina who reinvents herself entirely. With live piano accompaniment by Lucy Colquhoun.

28 Oct Sincerity on Trial
Dropped into comic operas with seria voices, Mozart's tenors don't get the straightforward luxury of being either comic or serious — Don Ottavio and Ferrando can be both noble and laughed at in the same breath. This recital explores the gorgeous, soaring music sung by men the drama refuses to let you trust. What happens when Mozart puts his heartfelt heroes on trial? With tenor, Robert Forrest, and pianist, Lucy Colquhoun.
A Taste of Heaven – 6pm
The Holy Trinity Consort presents a French-Swiss celebration - written in secret and hidden in a drawer for forty years, Frank Martin's Mass for Double Choir is now treasured as one of the twentieth century's great choral discoveries. After the interval, Fauré's sublime Requiem: music of consolation, from the radiant Pie Jesu to the whispered farewell of In Paradisum. We are delighted to welcome Läderach as our partner for the evening, and premium-ticket holders will enjoy an exclusive tasting of their exquisite Swiss chocolate. Candlelight, chocolate and glorious music - an evening to savour at Holy Trinity.
