Programme Note
Part one of a weekend of collaborations between the Rosenau Sinfonia and The Allegri Singers will bring a wonderful programme of JS Bach’s ‘Brandenburg Concerto No. 3’, Vaughan Williams ‘The Lark Ascending’, Berlioz ‘Les nuits d’été’ and an exciting new work by Timothy Hamilton – his “Requiem”. The Requiem was commissioned to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the First World War and we are delighted to be among the first amateur choirs performing it.
The concert is given in aid of the Stuart Low Trust, an Islington based charity whose mission is to ensure that local people, especially those experiencing social isolation or mental distress, have access to the support they need for better health and wellbeing.
