About this Event

This year is the 20th Anniversary of thr formation of the University of Southampton Chamber Choir. To celebrate this momentous occasion, we are putting on a fantastic concert of beautiful choral music. The first half of the concert will feature music from our very recent Concert Tour in Valletta, Malta. Featured music will include Byrd "Sing Joyfully", Palestrina "Cicut Cervus", and Bruckner "Os Justi".
The second half of the concert will feature the Fauré Requiem. The choir will be made up of current and alumni members of the chamber choir. The orchestra will feature members from the University of Southampton Symphony Orchestra and the University of Southampton Sinfonietta. The soprano solo will be brought to us by a soprano from our choir (TBC), the baritone solo by Oliver Davis, and the violin solo by Sophie.

The concert will be conducted by our own Simon Pettite who has directed us through learning and performing this amazing music. We hope you can come along to this special concert in such a beautiful venue, it's sure to be a night to remember.
