Our first concert of 2025 will feature Mozart’s ever-popular Requiem, his final work which famously was incomplete at his early death, and which has been “completed” several times by various composers and scholars. We will be using the more traditional version attributed to Franz Xaver Süssmayr, who did know Mozart and sometimes worked with him. Also in our concert, as a contrasting theme to the Requiem, will be Poulenc’s joyful Gloria. Holmfirth Choral has performed both these works more than once before to appreciative audiences, and is looking forward to another entertaining concert. The Valley Sinfonia (leader Mary Barber) will accompany the works, and the soloists are Olivia Hunt (soprano), Hannah Cooper (contralto), William North (tenor), and Charlie Trueman (Bass). The concert is on Saturday March 22nd, 7:15pm at the Civic Hall Holmfirth.
