At last - we have a concert date. And it's going to be a concert with a difference. We'll be under canvas for a charity performance of Fauré’s Requiem, newly arranged for string ensemble, plus shorter works by Stanford, Purcell, Bruckner and others.

All this will be taking place in a marquee specially set up at Cardiff Harlequins RFC ground, Forest Farm Road CF14 7JN from 2.30 pm on Saturday 25 June.

Admission will be free (but with limited space under canvas), and there will be a retiring collection for local refugee charity Space4U Cardiff.

We are pleased to say that our music director John Abraham will be back on the podium. Our soloists will be Victoria Illsley (sporano) and Piet Zorn (baritone). At the keyboard will be regular accompanist - and arranger - Benjamin Teague.
