Last performed by The Brackley Jubilee Choir in 2015, Faure’s Requiem & The Cantique de Jean Racine are amongst the most widely performed choral works, with Fauré's Requiem generally considered the composer's greatest achievement. Written in memory of his father and first performed in Paris in 1888, this magnificent work is admired for its clarity, balance, serenity, and ethereal beauty, and enjoys tremendous popularity with concert goers and lovers of sacred music everywhere.
Chair of Brackley Jubilee Choir, Auriel Warwick said: “Our Easter concert is a tribute to Faure and Bruckner, whose anniversaries take place this year. The music we’re singing is beautiful and so accessible to those on the threshold of ‘classical’ music.”
Musical Director, Nick Perry has assembled a stellar cast to accompany the Brackley Jubilee Choir for this EASTER CONCERT and we are privileged and delighted to welcome Jonathan Clinch, Soprano Soloist, Lydia Bruton and Scottish baritone, Michael Ferguson to accompany us for this event.
In acknowledgment of the 150th anniversary of the birth of Austrian composer and organist Anton Bruckner, this concert programme will also include a selection of choral pieces from Bruckner’s expansive catalogue of sacred music, to complete an evening of engaging and varied music – sure to please both regular and new audience members from the growing Brackley and District community.
