Verdi Requiem- Saturday 2nd July - 7:30pm

The Coast to Coast Choir sing Verdi’s Requiem

South Devon Choir is joining forces this summer with the North Devon Choral Society and a number of other choirs to create the Coast to Coast Choir – of approximately 200 singers – and perform the classic Messe da Requiem by Guiseppe Verdi.

This work will be known to many, both classical music devotees and also those who go to the cinema or watch films or television – in particular, because of its high drama, the Dies Irae often accompanies trailers and was recently used in the adverts about Alexander Armstrong’s programmes for Rome’s Invisible City and also in the movie Django Unchained (2012).

The Coast to Coast Choir will be accompanied by professional soloists Heloise West – soprano, Cheryl Brendish – mezzo soprano, David Webb – tenor, and Darren Geoffrey – bass and the Festival Orchestra.

There will be two performances of the Requiem, 7.30pm on Saturday 2 July 2016 at The Assembly Rooms, Torquay Town Hall, Castle Circus, Torquay and 3pm on 3rd July 2016 at the Barnstaple Pannier Market, Butchers Row, Barnstaple.
