Vox Holloway, Mark le Brocq and the Holloway Players perform Harvey Brough’s Requiem in Blue, directed by the composer.
A concert to celebrate Vox Holloway’s 15th year of producing innovative and exciting new choral music.
Requiem in Blue has been performed more than 100 times in venues all over the UK, including The Barbican and The Usher Hall, Edinburgh. Written in memory of Harvey’s brother, it’s a very personal yet universal setting of the Latin Requiem text incorporating words written by Lee Hall from his extraordinary radio play Spoonface Steinberg.
Now the composer brings it to Smith Square Hall with Vox Holloway, to celebrate 15 years of music making together.
Other works to be performed: Valete in Pace – a piece written for the 60th anniversary of D Day, performed in Portsmouth and Caen, Normandy. The work is an impassioned cry for peace also with words by Lee Hall. The composer has reworked it for this premiere performance in London.
Bernstein’s well loved Chichester Psalms in reduced orchestration sung in Hebrew has the message: ‘Behold how good and how pleasant it is for all to dwell together in unity’.
