Verdi – Requiem

Our first concert is so exciting! We’re singing Verdi’s monumental Requiem – with accompaniment by the Liverpool Concert Orchestra. Verdi’s orchestration is immense – making the choir inaudible, and giving our bank balance a serious bashing. On this occasion, we’re using a special arrangement in reduced orchestration, which loses non of the drama, but reduces both decibels and costs!

Our 2023-2024 season finished with an astonishing concert at Formby High School. You can see the programme HERE

On the website you can see what’s coming up, you can buy tickets (please do!), you can contact us, you can find out who’s who, who’s done what, and you can find out how to join the fun.
And members can check the rehearsal schedule, or send apologies if they’re going to miss rehearsal.

Our last concert – An Abundance of Anniversaries – was great!
It was our usual potpourri of things for a summer’s evening – AND we have Liverpool Brass Band with us again. AND a glass of wine in your hand when you arrive. What more could you ask for … ah … the sun!
Our previous concert was amazing! With Bach’s Magnificat and Mozart’s Requiem, and our four wonderful soloists, with Jon Barton accompanying us – in the fabulous acoustic of Formby High School’s Hall.

Our first concert of this season was truly wonderful.
Although the Hall at Formby High School is clearly a Sports Hall, the acoustic is remarkable and just enhanced the sound of the choir, soloists and orchestra.
We finished the 2022-2023 season with another version of Celebrate! – this time to mark the Coronation of King Charles III – but this time we were at Formby High School … and again with the wonderful Liverpool Brass Band (which you previously knew of as Formby Band)

Celebrate 2 – in Formby High School. Maybe even more flags that last year?

Summer concert 2022 – Celebrate! We had the great pleasure of having Formby Band join with us when we marked the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee in style – with plenty of flag-waving!
