SUBLIME melodies, vigorous rhythms and dramatic contrasts will be on offer in Thaxted as two choral society's and two orchestra's come together to perform Verdi's Requiem.

Bishop's Stortford and Choral Society will be joining Royston Choral Society and Hertford Symphony Orchestra and member of East Hertfordshire Youth Orchestra for the concert at Thaxted Parish Church.

The exciting combination of brassy fanfares and the large double chorus results in some of the loudest unamplified music ever written. Four first class soloists will help create a most extraordinary and exhilarating evening under the baton of David Boarder.

The concert will be performed on Saturday May 15 starting at 7.30pm. Tickets are available from Bishop's Stortford or Thaxted tourist information centres, priced �12 adults and �10 concessions. Call 01279 830619 for more information.
