Fauré Requiem by Candlelight presents Gabriel Fauré's Requiem Op.48 paired with Herbert Howells' Requiem at St Mary Le Strand Church on the Strand, London, WC2R 1ES. The performance begins at 20:30 and lasts about 70 minutes without an interval. The L'Inviti Singers are accompanied by organist Alexander Pott under the direction of David Guest.
Enjoy a stunning performance of Gabriel Fauré’s ethereal and uplifting setting of Requiem Op.48 in the evocative candlelit setting of St Mary Le Strand, James Gibbs’ baroque masterpiece and arguably the most beautiful of the Queen Anne Churches. Faure’s setting is paired with Herbert Howells' powerful and intensely personal Requiem.
The performance begins at 8.30pm, and will last about 70 minutes, without interval, giving concert-goers time to have dinner before the performance.
