Come and Sing one of the UK's favourite new choral works!
One of the world’s great choral cities, Cambridge hosts one of the great choral works of our time! Matthew Coleridge’s Requiem is a modern choral classic, and the composer himself will lead this special day of singing, in aid of Birmingham Children’s Hospital.
After an uplifting and inspiring day of rehearsals, we’ll give a concert performance of this stunning music, accompanied by organ and solo cello.
This singing day is open to singers of all abilities, but basic music-reading skills are essential. Music will be available to borrow or buy on the day. Under 18's must be accompanied by an adult chaperone.
REQUIEM is one of the UK's most popular new choral works. An intensely beautiful and deeply moving piece, it has captured the hearts of singers and audiences around the world.
In 2024 it was voted into the top 50 of Classic FM's Hall of Fame, one of the highest-ranked pieces of contemporary music in the chart.
All proceeds from this event will be donated to Birmingham Children's Hospital

You are real joy as a conductor - so clear and communicative with no ambiguity ever, and you make it fun! It is a very rare talent
