Informazioni sull'evento −

The Brandenburg Choral Festival of London presents the London leg of the Fauré Requiem Celebration mini-tour at St Stephen’s, Gloucester Road — marking the 102nd anniversary of Gabriel Fauré’s death. After this London performance, the tour continues to the composer’s own church, l’Église de la Madeleine in Paris.

Fauré’s Requiem is one of the most consoling works in the choral repertoire — music of quiet radiance rather than dread, from the serenity of the Pie Jesu to the gentle farewell of In Paradisum. It will be performed by The Brandenburg Festival Chorus under the direction of conductor David Wordsworth.

Bob Porter Artistic Director+

Bob Porter is Artistic Director of the Brandenburgs — bassoonist, conductor, teacher and concert promoter. He founded the Brandenburg Sinfonia in the early 1980s, the first of a family of orchestras under his artistic direction that now also includes the Brandenburg Brass and the Brandenburg Baroque Soloists, and he created the Brandenburg Choral Festival — today the largest annual choral festival in the United Kingdom, with more than seventy choirs performing each year in some of London’s most beautiful churches.

Accepted at fourteen as a Junior Exhibitioner at the Royal Academy of Music and a veteran of the National Youth Orchestra, Bob studied at the Guildhall School of Music & Drama, where he has been Head of Wind and Percussion of the Junior Department since 1985 and of which he is a Fellow. As a performer he plays regularly with the London Mozart Players and has worked with every major professional orchestra in London. In 1991 he was made a Freeman of the City of London for services to music — an honour which, as he likes to point out, entitles him to drive a flock of sheep over London Bridge.

In his spare time he is passionate about cricket (playing), rugby (watching), red wine (drinking) and jazz (listening) — although not necessarily in that order.
