University Choir: Schubert’s Mass in G (virtual concert)

22 March, 7pm, Online

Join Loughborough University Choir for a virtual concert and singalong.

Throughout this term, the University Choir has continued to meet online and rehearse on Monday evenings and this event is a showcase of what they have been working on. The main performance on the night will be Franz Schubert’s Mass in G, supported by other uplifting classical choral pieces and some solo items from members of the choir.

The Choir will launch their new video of the Kyrie from the mass with choir members singing together virtually via their individual recordings. For the other movements of the mass they will be singing along to carefully selected great choir performances. If you have (or can download) the scores you can join in the singing at home – or just watch and enjoy.

There will be a further video performance of the Choir singing a well known choral classic – but you’ll have to login on the night to discover which it is!

The choir will be on Zoom and you will be able to join them live via Youtube – there will be a link sent out. Find out more on the events page.
