Come and Sing - Chilcott Requiem

Event information

We are delighted to announce our next 'Come and Sing' workshop and concert - a performance of the Chilcott Requiem conducted by the composer himself.

Described by the Observer newspaper as ‘a contemporary hero of British Choral Music’, Bob Chilcott has worked tirelessly over the past thirteen years as a full-time composer and choral conductor. He has over 125 pieces published by Oxford University Press. He was a boy chorister and then a tenor choral scholar in the choir of King’s College, Cambridge, and later sang with, composed and arranged for the celebrated King’s Singers. At home, he is currently Principal Guest Conductor of the BBC Singers.

The Requiem was premièred by Nicholas Cleobury, The Oxford Bach Choir, and the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra March 2010 to great critical acclaim.

Our concert will also feature The Making of the Drum, performed by the choir.
