With the Capriol Chamber Orchestra

We will be singing this powerful and rarely performed requiem with the Capriol Chamber Orchestra in the wonderful setting of Holy Trinity Church, Minchinhampton.

The concert will also include an orchestral piece by Beethoven and the second performance ever of a specially commissioned piece for choir and orchestra by Jonathan Trim. This composition is based on the poem by W.B. Yeats about the enchanting lake isle of Innisfree in Ireland.
