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.

Join Lewisham Choral Society – Rütti Requiem – 7:30pm

Join Lewisham Choral Society for the London premiere of Swiss composer Carl Rütti’s Requiem in the presence of the composer. This striking work was commissioned and premiered in Winchester in 2008 by the Bach Choir, who requested the same orchestration as for the Fauré Requiem: strings, harp and organ. The result was a haunting seven-movement work for double choir with soprano and baritone soloists.
