Ripon Choral Society will perform Verdi's Requiem in its first live performance for 20 months.

The music was chosen because it fits the theme of remembrance, which the concert has adopted to honour the victims of covid.

Musical director John Dunford said:

“In choosing music for our return to rehearsals, I was conscious of the great loss of life, nationally, across the world, and from within our own membership."
"The Verdi Requiem is a monumental, moving and theatrical work and few choral works capture the imagination like it."


The 140-member choir will make its return at Ripon Cathedral on Saturday, November 13.

The soloists include Samantha Hay (soprano), Anna Burford (mezzo-soprano), Gareth Daffyd Morris (tenor) and D’Arcy Bleiker (bass), accompanied by Orchestra D’Amici.

The choir welcomes anyone to its evening rehearsals at St John's Church in Sharow, near Ripon, every Wednesday from 7.30pm to 9pm.

Dunford said:

"I am convinced there are a lot of people who think this is not for them and I am even more convinced they would love what we do if they gave us and themselves a chance to experience it.
"This requires time and is not instant, particularly if you have not done this sort of singing before, but it can all be learnt.”


The concert will start at 7.30pm. Tickets cost £23 for reserved seating or £20 for unreserved.
