Come and Sing: Mozart's Requiem

Join the Abbey Singers as we spend a day preparing and performing Mozart’s famous Requiem. Following the huge success of our 2024 Come and Sing (Faure’s Requiem), we are delighted to once again present a full day of choral music-making in Cumbria.

The performance will take place on Saturday 18th January 2024 in St James’ Church, Denton Holme, Carlisle (CA2 5PD). With registration from 10am, two rehearsal sessions (which will include breaks) will take place from 10.30am to 12.30pm, and from 1.30pm to 3.30pm. Light refreshments will be provided during the breaks, but singers are asked to bring a packed lunch. The performance will begin at 5pm.

Our Musical Director is Jonathan Millican, who in recent years has skilfully and enthusiastically led us in performing Rossini’s Petite Messe Solennelle, Karl Jenkins’ The Armed Man, Will Todd’s Mass in Blue and Faure’s Requiem. Under Jonathan’s expert direction, the choir will be accompanied by David T Shingler.

We’ll be delighted to have as many singers as possible join us for this special occasion – and, of course, we’d welcome an audience too! There is a small charge of £10 per singer to help cover costs (music hire, venue etc.), and admission for the audience is free (though donations are welcome).

Booking for singers is not required, but strongly encouraged. (Booking for audience members is not required.)
