Edinburgh Bach Choir Spring Concert

Add to my Calendar 21-03-2026 19:30 21-03-2026 21:30 36 Edinburgh Bach Choir Spring Concert In this concert we will present a familiar Classical work, the Mozart Requiem, in a new light. We will be performing the Duncan Druce completion of this famous Requiem (which has a strikingly different continuation of the Lacrimosa and an exquisite Benedictus) alongside the model for Mozart's Requiem in the setting by Michael Haydn. As well as being a deeply rewarding work in its own right, Michael Haydn's Requiem will give our audience a fascinating insight into how Mozart was able to develop another composer's ideas in his own inimitable voice.  The concert will also include a first performance of "Let All Mortal Flesh" by Tyler Zwink. St Cuthbert's Parish Church, Edinburgh DD/MM/YYYY
