Requiem for a Fading World

Holmfirth Choral (plus a few friends) provided the choir which was part of the Holmfirth Arts Festival production of Kerrin Tatman’s Requiem for a fading world, a work in 11 movements for two soloists, choir, orchestra and piano, which formed half of a double-bill concert at Holmfirth Civic Hall on August 3rd. Following an excellent telling in song of the history of Holmfirth in the first half of the concert, the scene shifted during the interval, and Holmfirth Choral took to the stage with the instrumentalists and soloists for a most enjoyable performance.
