As summer beckons there is warmth and contemplation in abundance with the Royal Choral Society’s programme of music by Fauré, Vaughan Williams and Copland.

Alongside Fauré’s Cantique de Jean Racine and his Requiem – surely one of the best loved in the choral repertoire (and performed in 2024 to mark the centenary of the composer’s death) – the choir will sing An Oxford Elegy, Vaughan Williams’ poignant tapestry of music interweaved with Matthew Arnold’s poetry, which touchingly evokes high Midsummer, musk carnations, gold-dusted snapdragon and ‘that sweet city with her dreaming spires’.

The Royal Choral Society will be accompanied by LMP who will perform Copland’s Appalachian Spring, featuring the beautiful Shaker melody ‘Simple Gifts’, providing an upbeat contrast and some introspective tranquillity to complement the choral music.

The Royal Choral Society, one of Britain’s largest symphonic choirs, recently celebrated its 150th anniversary. The choir has been performing choral masterpieces ever since its formation for the opening of the Royal Albert Hall in 1871, including the UK première of Verdi’s Requiem in 1875, conducted by Verdi himself.

100 Faces of Croydon is a community-led photography and music project from London Mozart Players (LMP) which showcases the local people that make our borough special.

Over the last few weeks, 30 local photographers have taken portraits of 100 people in various locations around Croydon. Two photos of each ‘face’ have been taken; one black and white headshot and one coloured photo taken in an environment which symbolises what Croydon means to them.

The headshots will be revealed during LMP’s Mozart: the Mixtape on Saturday 10 February concert and then released in an online gallery. During this reveal, the 100 ‘faces’ will participate in a special musical performance.

100 Faces of Croydon is funded and supported by This is Croydon: The Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan’s, London Borough of Culture.

This event is for LMP Friends only.
