Over two nights in December, the voices of Exeter Philharmonic Choir will be joined by well-known historian Dr Todd Gray, adding a historical note to the choir’s popular Carols in the Cathedral.
Dr Gray is compering the concerts at Exeter Cathedral on Tuesday 17th and Wednesday 18th December, blending the festive music with his own reflections on Devon Christmases, past and present.
The glorious voice of soprano Milly Forrest and the brilliance of trumpeters Cameron Todd and Fraser Tannock will add extra sparkle to the evenings’ performances.
Brahms – Ein deutsches Requiem Exeter Philharmonic Choir with The Sinfonietta Directed by Andrew Millington Saturday 16 March 2013 Exeter Cathedral: 7.30 pm
When Brahms wrote his German Requiem, critics considered it the fulfilment of Schumann's prophecy that Brahms was a genius. The music and spiritual themes of Brahms' Ein deutsches Requiem make it one of the most beloved pieces in the choral repertoire. The work sets the mass in German for soprano, baritone, choir and orchestra. Exeter Philharmonic Choir are very excited about performing the work again.
