Brahms Deutsches Requiem

As well as the Brahms German Requiem, we will also be singing Morten Lauridsen: Lux Aeterna and Brahms: Nänie op.82. Vivace has performed both the German Requiem and Lux Aeterna (Laridsen) in the past, so you may already have copies of these. All three pieces are available to hire or buy.

There is also the option to print your own copy of the Brahms Nänie if you choose to do so.

COVID-19 protocol update Sep. 2022

In-line with general practice, we have removed our requirement for testing, mask wearing, and social distancing measures, but we do understand that many people wish to minimise the chance of becoming infected or of spreading infection.

Please do not attend a rehearsal if you are feeling ill or have symptoms of Covid or other viruses like flu. If in doubt, you can attend and sit at the edge or back, wearing a mask, so that you can listen and mark up your score with any instructions.

Paying your subs

The annual subscription to the choir is £200, payable in one go in September at the start of each new season, or in four quarterly instalments of £50 in September, December, March and June.

Please let us know if you have questions or concerns around paying. We will try to help!

The easiest way to pay is to set up a standing order to the choir’s account:
