Fauré’s Requiem will be performed by the University Chamber Choir on Friday 3 March in The Crypt at Canterbury Cathedral.

Conducted by Daniel Harding and Douglas Haycock, the concert features a new chamber edition by Michael Higgins of Fauré’s sublime setting, releasing its radiant harmonies, against the backdrop of the Cathedral’s evocative Eastern Crypt.

Also including works by Purcell, Warlock, Lassus, Alexander Campkin and Alec Roth, the concert presents fragments of dreams, desire, loss, dance, beauty and sleep, culminating in a tranquil vision of redemption and eternal rest in Paradise.

Tickets, priced £13 (full) and £7 (reserved) are available from Gulbenkian webpages.

The concert is in memory of David Humphreys whose fund continues to sponsor this annual concert in memory of his wife, Julia.
