Come and Sing Faure Requiem in London and Paris - Register your committment

Tuesday 4th November. Singing the Faure Requiem in Faure's own church (Eglise de la Madeleine) in Paris on the anniversary of his death.

It is perfectly possible to do this as a day trip on Eurostar, although lots of people made a 2/3 day trip of it last time.

Saturday 31st October will be a Come-and-Sing day in London  and will effectively be the rehearsals for Paris.

You can only sing in Paris if you attend the London day

This is a free subscription to register your interest - it is not a ticket (yet) but we will prioritise all those who have pre-registered an interest.

For now, please only register if you can do both London (31st)  and Paris (4th)

The various editions of the Faure vary enormously both rhythmically and texturally.If possible please use the OUP (ed Rutter) vocal score. If not, we will post a pdf for you to mark up the differences. For some pieces ​it doesn't matter too much but for this it is essential.

NB Barbican Music Shop will give you a 10% discount if you mention Brandenburg.

NB THIS IS NOT A BOOKING - YOU ARE JUST REGISTERING YOUR INTEREST

Paris venue: l'Eglise de la Madeleine, France, 75008 4pm - 5pm
