OUR NEXT CONCERT

Fauré Requiem

Saturday 28th June 2008
St Mary Redcliffe
7.30pm

Peter Leech  Conductor
Charlotte Newstead  Soprano
Stephen Foulkes  Baritone
Nigel Nash  Organ

One of the most popular and famous of all Requiem settings, Fauré's dramatic masterpiece was composed in Fauré's own words, 'to evoke a very human feeling of faith in eternal rest'. While displaying the full power and drama of the requiem setting, the music has an optimistic beauty.
Jean Langlais' Messe Solennelle perfectly counterbalances the Fauré.

Come and hear these two fantastic pieces in the wonderful acoustic and architecture of St Mary Redcliffe.
