    Description: Come and sing Requiem by Matthew Coleridge
    A day exploring Requiem by Matthew Coleridge with our Music Director Tom Newall and Accompanist Rachel Fright.

    This work has become one of the UK’s most popular new choral works, and was one of the highest new entries in the Classic FM Hall of Fame 2023. Described by the late Sir Neville Marriner as “a valuable addition to 21st century choral repertoire”, this deeply moving work and its beautiful, flowing melodies have made it a firm favourite with singers and audiences alike.
