Free refreshments will be provided during the breaks, with time to socialise and meet other singers.ABOUT RUTTERS REQUIEMWritten in 1985, Rutters Requiem combines words from the traditional Latin Requiem Mass with psalms and biblical texts in English.

The music moves between sorrow and consolation, darkness and light, with memorable passages including Pie Jesu, Sanctus, Out of the Deep, The Lord is my Shepherd and Lux Aeterna.

Although it explores grief and remembrance, its lasting message is one of hope, comfort and peace.The afternoon will conclude with an informal performance from 6.006.30pm, which family and friends are warmly invited to attend.
