Join Berkhamsted Choral Society for a workshop singing the choruses from Fauré’s Requiem (Novello edition) and Handel’s glorious Coronation Anthem, Zadok the Priest, led by Graham Wili and accompanied by our expert pianist Fei Ren.
Doors will open at 9:30am for a 10am start, with a free informal concert for friends and family at around 3:30pm and a 4:15pm finish. Tea, coffee and our usual excellent selection of cake will all be on sale (you’ll need to bring your own lunch!) and music will be available to borrow for the day, although you are welcome to bring your own copy if you prefer.
This event is for everyone, from experienced singers who may be familiar with the works to those who would like to give choral singing a go in an informal and friendly atmosphere. You may even be inspired to join the choir!

MOZART
Johannes Brahms’ German Requiem is one of the most beautiful and spiritual works of the 19th century. Drawing on a range of texts from the German Lutheran bible that focus on spiritual healing, it was written to give comfort to the living rather than serve as a prayer for the dead. Berkhamsted Choral Society and Graham Wili will be joined by two soloists and English Philharmonia to perform this profound piece of music in St Peter’s Church – tickets available soon!
If you are interested in singing with the choir, rehearsals will begin in January 2026 – email us for more details.
And in September 2026:
Saturday 12th September 2026
St Peter’s Church, High Street, Berkhamsted HP4 2AX
7:30pm
