Fauré Requiem to debut at Coventry Cathedral

By Tuesday 17 September 2013 Updated: 17/09 09:43

A NEW choral work by award-winning British composer Gabriel Jackson will be the centrepiece of a concert at Coventry Cathedral.

The City of London Sinfonia continues its nationwide Fauré Requiem tour in Coventry on Friday, October 11 when it will be joined on stage by the cathedral's own choir.

The concert programme starts with music by Thomas Tallis before Kerry Beaumont, the organist, performs Francis Polenc’s grand and masterful Organ Concerto, marking the 50th anniversary of the French composer’s death.

And the new, specially-commissioned piece, Countless and Wonderful are the ways to Praise God, by Gabriel Jackson then brings liturgical music up to the 21st Century.

Fauré’s enduringly popular and moving Requiem will provide a fitting and inspiring end to the concert – another all-time favourite making it into this year’s ClassicFM Hall of Fame.

Tickets are priced £10, £15 and £20 from the cathedral on 7652 1210.
