About This Event
The Â鶹ԼÅÄ Singers and Chief Conductor Sofi Jeannin present a concert of reflective music to mark the end of the season of Remembrance. At the heart of the programme is John Tavener’s Requiem Fragments, a sequence of short movements which alternate scoring and spiritual references. It is paired with other works by Tavener – his Song for Athene, a Â鶹ԼÅÄ commission for the Â鶹ԼÅÄ Singers, arguably made famous by its inclusion in the funeral service of Diana, Princess of Wales.
