WE REGRET THAT THIS WORKSHOP WILL NOT NOW TAKE PLACE 

It is rare for War Requiem to be performed, such are the challenges of the score, so this Workshop, led by Peter Allwood, provides an exciting opportunity to learn more about the work in an informal atmosphere. 

Unusually, the workshop will take place over two days. The first day’s musical work will focus exclusively on the choral parts, giving participants an opportunity to study their role in greater depth, while also gaining a greater understanding of the structure of the piece and, in particular, the way that Britten interweaves Wilfred Owen’s poetry. On the second day, we will be joined by some soloists, and attempt to put together a complete run-through of the work, the soprano soloist working alongside the chorus on the text of the Latin Requiem, while the tenor and baritone will provide the interwoven song-cycle of Owen’s poetry.

This workshop was being organised by the combined choirs of Chantry Quire, Christ's Hospital Choral Society and West Sussex Philharmonic Choir.
