The Academy Choir of Wimbledon

Wimbledon’s beloved Academy Choir returns with Fauré’s serene and radiant Requiem, joined by the London Mozart Players. Also featured are two works by Sir John Tavener: The Lamb, a poignant setting of William Blake’s poetry, and Svyati, a spiritual choral piece for cello and choir in Church Slavonic drawing on Orthodox funeral rites. This marks the Choir’s first performance under their new Music Director, following a distinguished partnership with the late Matthew Best.
