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.

Fidelio Orchestra: Tchaikovsky Violin Concerto – 7pm

This September, the Fidelio Orchestra presents a programme built around a single, haunting idea: what happens to the human spirit — and to music itself — under conditions of imprisonment and coercion. It's a theme that runs through every work on the bill, from Bach's much celebrated Chaconne to Viktor Ullmann's Symphony No. 2, a work by a composer who wrote it while imprisoned in Theresienstadt before he was sent to his death at Auschwitz.
