Featured Event

Our first concert of the 2026-27 season is on Saturday 21st November. This exciting collaboration with the Richmond Chamber Orchestra brings together three extraordinary choral and orchestral pieces that Mozart wrote at the end of his short and unbelievably productive life. We are joined by Katie Rawson, who will perform one of his most beautiful concertos, the only one he wrote for the clarinet. The exquisite motet Ave Verum Corpus begins the evening, and the concert ends with the dramatic Requiem, unfinished at the composer's death and completed by his pupil Sussmayer.

We look forward to seeing you at St Mary's Church, Richmond.
