Past Performances

Bach : Christmas Oratorio

The Christmas Oratorio is exceptional in that it contains a few hymn settings, or versions of hymn tunes, for which there is no known earlier source than Bach's composition.
A beautiful way to welcome in the Christmas season.

Brahms : Requiem

one of the greatest choral works in the repertoire performed 
in the nave of Chichester Cathedral

with orchestral accompaniment

Stanford : Songs of the fleet

an evocative depiction of seafaring

Puccini : Messa di Gloria

John Rutter : Feel the Spirit

settings of Spirituals for choir and mezzo-soprano soloist

George Shearing : Songs and Sonnets of Shakespeare

a modern take on famous poems

Classic favourites from The Great American Songbook

including Somewhere over the rainbow and Every time we say goodbye

Four celebratory pieces accompanied by soloists, organ, brass and timpani

F.J. Haydn: Insanae et Vanae Curae

Anton Bruckner : Te Deum

J.S. Bach : Ascension Oratorio

C.H.H. Parry : I Was Glad

Vivaldi : Dixit Dominus

An energetic setting of Psalm 110 for double choir

Haydn : Mariazellermesse

Handel : Messiah

George Frideric Handel’s Messiah marked our triumphant return to public performance!

Full of famous tunes, this work marks the high point of the 18th century collision of sacred music and opera.
