Whitehall Orchestra – Verdi: Requiem – 7.30pm
Verdi: Requiem - Arranged by Richard Blackford for two pianos, organ and percussion
Verdi’s setting of the Requiem (1874) is beloved for its intense emotion, operatic lines and utterly thrilling power. This new arrangement by Richard Blackford combines the huge range of colours available to the organ, along with the percussive drive of the piano, timpani and bass drum, and allows smaller choirs to give a more intimate but equally thrilling performance of this amazing work.
Whitehall Choir is joined by top soloists and players for a performance not to be missed!
Conductor: Joanna Tomlinson
Organ: Richard Moore
Piano: Ian Tindale and Michael Higgins
Percussion: Keith Price
Soprano – Anita Watson

Join The London Chorus for a rare performance of Vaughan Williams Five Tudor Portraits, 7.30pm 12 March 2026 at Holy Trinity Church, Sloane Square.
The London Chorus presents a thrilling programme of the music of Ralph Vaughan Williams, one of the greatest of all British composers and a Chelsea resident for 24 years. His Five Tudor Portraits, masterful settings of the poems of John Skelton, priest and tutor to Henry VIII, are at times bawdy, poignant and witty, and deserve to be heard far more often.
We also hear his popular Five Mystical Songs, settings of the 17th-century poet and priest George Herbert, and his Norfolk Rhapsody No. 1, which conjures up an eloquent aural portrait of the Norfolk landscape and its people through five locally-sourced folk songs.
