Our annual Gala Concert promises to be a musical spectacular in the glorious setting of Nottingham’s Albert Hall. Two top Form 7 music scholars will be in the spotlight as they are accompanied by the Symphony Orchestra in two popular concerti by Saint-Saëns and Shostakovich. The latter’s entertaining arrangement of 'Tea for Two' and the Form 3 Singers’ performance of 'This is Me' (from The Greatest Showman) offer a taste of lighter music, before the Chapel Choir performs Duruflé’s beautiful setting of the Requiem. Containing much of his finest music and based on Gregorian chant from the Missa pro Defunctis, we guarantee that you will be enthralled by the compelling sounds of choir, organ and orchestra.
