Beverley Minster hosts a spectacular performance of one of the UK’s favourite new choral works.

Matthew Coleridge ‘Requiem’ concert

Saturday 19th October 2024

19:00 - 20:15

Beverley Minster, HU17 0DN

200 choral singers from around Yorkshire will unite in Beverley Minster on October 19th, to

perform one of the UK’s favourite new choral works.

Composer Matthew Coleridge will conduct a performance of his own choral work Requiem,

which listeners of Classic FM voted into the top 50 of their Hall of Fame earlier this year.

He’ll be joined for the performance by string players from Hull Philharmonic Orchestra, local

baritone soloist Charlie Trueman, and rising cello star Jayden Lamcellari.

Mr Coleridge’s choral music has become hugely popular with Yorkshire choirs in recent

years, and this concert follows on from successful recent performances in Wakefield and

Bradford Cathedrals and Selby Abbey.

The self-taught composer is relishing another trip to conduct his music in Yorkshire:

“It’s always a pleasure to return to one of Yorkshire’s great churches, and the incomparable

atmosphere and acoustic in Beverley Minster will make this performance particularly special.

There’s been a real appetite for my music in Yorkshire lately, with several choral societies

putting on performances, and I’m thrilled that so many of those singers will be uniting for this

concert. It’s also going to be wonderful working with the string players from Hull Philharmonic

Orchestra, who will add extra power and beauty to my music.”

Audience tickets (£5-£10) for the evening performance (7:00pm - 8:15pm) are available at
