Grimsby Philharmonic Society and Grimsby Bach Choir will be joining forces in April 2011 to sing one of the most awe inspiring works in the choral repertoire – Verdi’s Requiem. This monumental piece of music was intended by the composer to be performed on a grand scale and the combined choir and a 48-strong orchestra will be on the stage of the Grimsby Central Hall on 16th April 2011.
Gordon Watson and Jill Moore, respective chairmen of the ‘Phil’ and the Bach choirs, said “Our two choirs have been looking at doing something together for some time and Verdi’s Requiem offers a wonderful opportunity for both singers and audience” We invite new members to come and help us make this concert an experience to remember for everyone. The Phil (contact 01472 823484) rehearses at Grimsby Central Hall on Mondays at 7.30pm.
