Rochester Choral Society: a virtual performance of Mozart's Requiem

Rochester Choral Society warmly invites you to enjoy our virtual performance of the Mozart Requiem. We had intended to perform this deeply emotional and inspiring work as part of our Summer Concert in Rochester Cathedral, which was sadly cancelled by the coronavirus outbreak. However, although it has prevented us meeting to rehearse and perform as a choir, coronavirus has not stopped our members from wanting to make music which might help raise people’s spirits through these difficult times. While looking forward to happier days when we can sing together again, we have made this performance by recording our individual voices in our own homes, and also included in our virtual choir some past and possible future members of our Society. All video editing was done by our Musical Director, John Mountford and instrumental backing tracks were provided by ChordPerfect.com

The Requiem is intended to console those who mourn, requesting eternal peace for the departed, and this performance is dedicated to all those who have lost loved ones to coronavirus. If you enjoy the music, please consider making a donation to the Charities Aid Foundation Covid-19 Response Fund or Help Musicians UK
