Come and Sing Fauré Requiem All Saints’ Church, Little Horton Green, Bradford BD5 0NG – Saturday, October 6th 2018, 2pm
The event Tom Leech, the inspiring Musical Director of BFCS, will lead a workshop leading to a performance of the Fauré Requiem. We will also be exploring Ivor Gurney’s The Trumpet, an elegaic setting of Edward Thomas’ poetry and a response to the loss and trauma of the First World War, which the composer experienced first hand in the trenches. Our ‘Come and Sing’ events have been praised for combining a relaxed, friendly and informal atmosphere with brilliant musical content. You’ll learn some wonderful music, enjoy Tom’s insights, tips and humour, and pick up new vocal ideas along the way. Some musicreading ability and a little previous choral experience will help you get the most out of the afternoon.
Timetable The afternoon will start with registration at 1.30 pm. The workshop will run from 2 to 5pm. There will be a performance at 6pm – please invite your friends and family! Entrance will be free.
