Come and hear two masterpieces in one night!
The Nova Foresta Classical Players return with the Salisbury Chamber Chorus for a spellbinding programme, with something for everyone.
Salisbury Chamber Chorus is delighted to be performing with Nova Foresta Classical Players
again, and to be making its début at Romsey Abbey. For this concert, the Chorus is returning to
one of the most enduring favourites in the choral repertoire, Fauré’s Requiem. Its perfect mixture
of French Romanticism, the sacred musical tradition, and Fauré’s sense of classical finesse, not to
mention his ability to craft a beautiful melodic line, have made it the popular piece it is. And of
course it includes two of Fauré’s most famous movements, the Pie Jesu, and the ethereal In
Paradisum.

This must surely have a good chance of being the most entertaining concert you’ll hear in this
summer’s Salisbury concert season. Salisbury Chamber Chorus brings its inimitable style to this
frothiest of classical forms, with selections from favourite composers Johann Strauss II,
Offenbach, Gilbert and Sullivan, and Lehár, celebrated shows like The Merry Widow, The
Mikado, Orpheus in the Underworld, and The Student Prince. There’s even a brief detour into
the world of Zarzuela, Spain’s homegrown version of operetta.
The concert will be sung in English, and the solos taken by members of the Chorus who,
between them, have ratcheted up many successful stage performances with a range of opera
companies, as well as awards.
This festival of masked balls, romantic waltzes, drunken reprobates, and defiant lovers takes
place in the perfect surroundings of the Medieval Hall, and is one concert not to be missed.
There is only one performance and a limited number of tickets, so early booking is
recommended.

As Salisbury emerged from lockdown, choirs were thrilled to be able to perform again, and audiences to hear them. One of Salisbury Chamber Chorus’s most memorable performances of the last few years was its concert in the Market Square, when only singing outside was allowed.They gathered quite a crowd (around 200), and apparently could be heard as far away as the Cathedral Close.Now they are returning for another visit with a mixed bag of their current repertoire - Johann Strauss, Offenbach, Wagner, Fauré, Haydn and Handel. All welcome - bring a garden chair, grab a coffee (or bring a bottle!), and settle in.
