Sing Brahms' Requiem With Us

23/2/2013

0 Comments

 
This is a wonderful opportunity to sing Brahms' alternative arrangement - for choir and 4 hands at the piano - of the beautiful Requiem, written following the death of his mother in 1865. He also lost his great friend, Robert Schumann, in 1856. This may also have been a driving force for Brahms. 

We will be singing the piece in its original German.

Saturday, 9th March 2013 10:30-17:00 
(Registration from 10am)
Cost: £40 (includes break time refreshments)
St Mary's Church, Battersea

Why A Platinum Choral Workshop?

1) We keep our groups small so that everyone receives the individual vocal attention they deserve from the best vocal coaches in the business.

2) We do not perform. We much prefer to explore the repertoire in a relaxed way, without having to worry about a concert at the end!

3) We serve the most beautiful homemade cakes and real coffee..... You decide!

A Requiem of Hope. Be Inspired!

We are very happy to have a feature review of our Storm of Light concert in the January/February 2013 edition of Musical Opinion. 

"The concert by the Platinum Consort and Players under their director Scott Inglis-Kidger (...) demonstrated the excellence of this outstanding body of singers, who, on this showing, have to be counted among the finest currently before the public."

"The Palestrina was the outstanding event of the evening: a performance of the greatest refinement and beauty of tone, excellently maintained throughout."

The video below was filmed live at this concert.

St Mary's Church, Battersea, SW11 3NA
Cost: £40 (including break time refreshments and music)

Our next stop on the Grand Tour is the New World. Manuscripts by the Spanish Renaissance composer, Morales, found themselves in the hands of New World composers such as Juan Gutiérrez de Padilla. This resulted in an exotic mix of perfect polyphonic harmonies and infectious Mexican South American rhythms. We will also sing the beautifully haunting Sleep by American composer, Eric Whitacre. Sign up for this workshop by filling in the form below. We looking forward to seeing you there!

So please join Scott Inglis-Kidger, Platinum Consort's Founder and Director, and his fabulous team of singing leaders, for what will be a most memorable choral workshop in London!

Saturday, 14th July 2012 | 10:30-17:00 (Registration from 10:00)
St Mary's Church, Battersea, SW11 3NA
Workshop Cost: £40 (including break time refreshments and music)

There is a wealth of staggeringly beautiful polyphonic music hidden in the shadow of the great Renaissance composers. Sure, we all love a bit of Palestrina, Victoria and Byrd, but there's so much more to enjoy! In this choral workshop, we will be singing works by lesser-known composers Schütz, Sweelinck, Obrecht, Isaac and Clemens non Papa.

These composers are all drawn from the old 'Holy Roman Empire' - an empire which existed from 962-1806 in Central Europe, governed by Holy Roman Emperor. So if you want a new choral experience, join us on 14th July by signing up below.
