Composed some years before WW1, Faure presents a calm and tranquil requiem that focuses on death as “a happy deliverance, an aspiration towards happiness above, rather than as a painful experience.“

The choir is joined at All Saints Church in Eastbourne by guest singers for this special performance. In keeping with its tradition of supporting young musicians, Phoenix Choir will be welcoming up-and-coming Sîan Sulke as soprano soloist.
