Vivaldi on the Double! – The Civil Service Choir – 7:30pm

Following the resounding success of their July performance of Dan Forrest’s multilingual Jubilate Deo at St John’s Smith Square, the Civil Service Choir is delighted to be back, this time bringing you a double helping of Vivaldi!

On Thursday 17th November, the choir will be joined by soloists and the superb Brandenburg Sinfonia at Holy Trinity, Sloane Square for a special evening of choral and orchestral music by the Venetian composer Antonio Vivaldi (1678-1741).

Undoubtedly Vivaldi’s best known choral work is his setting of the Gloria. His many other choral works are less often heard. On November 17th, the choir will perform a setting of Beatus Vir (RV 597) and a setting of Dixit Dominus (RV 594). Both are masterpieces for soloists, double choir and double orchestra!
The Concerto for two trumpets in C major continues the concert’s ‘Vivaldi on the Double’ theme. The singularly beautiful Nulla in mundo pax sincera, a solo motet, will complete the Vivaldi line-up. As a special guest, the concert will also feature a Venetian contemporary, Tomaso Albinoni (1671-1751) and his Concerto for oboe in D minor.

Tickets (£18 and concessions) are available from www.civilservicechoir.org.uk/tickets or from concert-diary.

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.
