Alumni, parents, friends, and current choir members gathered for a memorable day of music-making, celebrating 65 years of FCMG. Under the superb leadership of our Artistic Director Grace Rossiter, everyone enjoyed a morning of rehearsals, followed by a delicious lunch and a short walk to St Mary Brookfield for the performance. The Seniors, Tenors, and Basses kicked off the concert with beautiful renditions of works by Fauré, Poulenc, and Britten, before the concert concluded with a powerful massed performance of Fauré’s Requiem with alumni and parents. This was swiftly followed by a performance by the younger choirs, Intermediate Choir, Beginner Choir and Dots to a packed house. The Intermediate Choir sang excerpts from Bob Chilcott’s Sporting Chance song cycle, A Child of Song by Herring and Beck, and Feel Good a firm favourite while Beginners sang songs inspired by food, and led the audience in a fruit salad round! It was a truly special day, filled with music, memories, and celebration.
