Cheltenham College Choral Society's Verdi Requiem

Several of the Saint Cecilia Singers joined with the combined choirs of Cheltenham College to form an ensemble of over 150 singers in this fabulous performance of ​Giuseppe Verdi's Messa da Requiem on Friday 

29th November. The choir was superbly supported by a professional orchestra, which also included College's most advanced instrumentalists. The programme note described the concert as 'a true team effort, and involves performers in both the choir and orchestra from all areas of College over a wide age range.' It was indeed impressive to see such talent on display from both singers and orchestra, including Gloucestershire's current Young Musician of the Year in the viola section.
David McKee, Director of Music at Cheltenham College, said "It was wonderful to have members of the St Cecilia Singers joining us for this occasion. As a student I learned so much from performing next to singers and players of a professional standard and it's my privilege to offer this opportunity to the students at College. Thank you to the St Cecilia singers for their support."
