A word from our Musical Director...

Southern Voices, directed by Jamal Sutton, return to Winchester with a beautiful and evocative programme for the season of including Duruflé’s hauntingly beautiful Requiem, works by Finzi and Arvo Pärt and John Tavener’s meditative and poignant Svyati for choir and cello. This will be a concert to be experienced and what better way to celebrate the theme of Remembrance than to hear this glorious music on the very day that we take time to consider and remember those who have passed?

The choir will be joined by cellist Nicola Heinrich, mezzo-soprano Claire Sutton-Williams, and organist Gavin Roberts, who will be using the remarkable technology of the HauptwerkOrgan – a system that allows the choir to be accompanied, through sampling, by one of the great instruments of the organ world!

It promises to be a very special evening, and we very much look forward to you joining us for the occasion.
