Included in the program for full chorus, soloists and orchestra will be extended segments of Mozart’s incomparable Requiem, his sparkling Coronation Mass, the beautiful Ave Verum Corpus, several famous operatic arias and a horn concerto extract.
The Greenwich Choral Society, the area’s most prestigious chorus, has been delighting audiences here and abroad for more than 82 years. Critics have praised the chorus as “simply magnificent”, “vocally strong and musically sensitive” and ‘terrific.” Come and be thrilled.
