Programme Note
One of the most beautiful choral works of the 21st century will be performed at Derby Cathedral on 11th February, in a concert conducted by the music’s composer.
Choral singers from around the Midlands will gather to perform Matthew Coleridge’s sublime Requiem, described by audiences as ‘mesmerising, glorious and deeply moving’.
They’ll be joined by rising cello star Sarah Gait, who will play the Requiem’s soaring cello solos, as well as performing JS Bach’s timeless 4th cello suite.
The choir will be accompanied by the cathedral’s Director of Music Alexander Binns at the organ, and Welsh soprano Sarah Jane Griffiths will sing the Requiem’s haunting Pie Jesu solo.
