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.

Barts’s Choir – Monteverdi’s Vespers (1610) – 7:30pm

Join us for two performances of Monteverdi’s Vespers (1610), one of the great masterpieces of sacred music, with Trafalgar Sinfonia conducted by Ivor Setterfield.

Published over four centuries ago, the Vespers stands at the threshold between the Renaissance and the Baroque, combining ancient plainchant with bold new operatic expression. Its radiant choruses, intimate solo motets and dazzling instrumental writing make it a thrilling experience live, and the beautiful Arts and Crafts setting of Holy Trinity Sloane Square makes it an evening of colour, drama and devotion.

Medici Choir – Brahms’ Ein Deutsches Requiem – 7pm

Brahms' magnificent German Requiem, sometimes dark yet ultimately consoling, is a choir and audience favourite. Lauridsen's tranquil and lyrical Lux Aeterna will appeal to lovers of Faure's Requiem.
