Spring Requiem

The Kelvedon Singers are delighted to invite you to join them when they perform two sublime choral works at Holy Trinity Church, Long Melford, Suffolk.

Mozart’s Requiem is an unparalleled masterpiece of choral and orchestral music, and stands as one of the most profound and haunting compositions in the Western classical repertoire.

Franz Schubert’s Mass in E-flat major is a monumental work that is a testament to his genius in the realm of sacred music. One of Schubert’s last compositions, it is notable for its grand scale and profound spirituality.

We will be joined by four soloists with strong reputations in both concert and opera performance:

Catherine May (Soprano), Felicity Buckland (Mezzo Soprano), Jonathan Cooke (Tenor) and Owain Browne (Bass)

Nigel Brown, who is organist and choir master at Holy Trinity, will accompany us on this occasion.

Holy Trinity Church is one of the great Suffolk wool churches which stands on a hill at the north end of the village of Long Melford. It is widely acknowledged to be one of the most magnificent parish churches in the country. A quick scan of their visitors' book reveals that even hardened tourists are taken aback by the building's beauty and the peace they experience when visiting a site where Christians have worshipped and prayed for over 1000 years.
