Our Ayr Town Hall Season arrived at a glorious finale on Sunday 17th March with Brahms’ Ein Deutsches Requiem. The incredible sound from the choir was beautifully supported by The Caledonian Consort and we were lucky to have two wonderful soloists in Catriona Hewitson and Ross Cumming.
When Brahms premiered the Requiem in 1888, he broke the performance after the 4th movement and included works by other composers in the concert so we followed suit! Triptych by Tarik O’Regan was both a challenge and a joy to sing for the choir and captivating for the audience to hear. As one audience member said ‘it sounded amazing and was really emotional…had a wee tear!’
Although our official season is now over, you can still catch us on Saturday 27th April in Glasgow, at St Mungo’s Cathedral at 2.30pm (free entry) and we’ll be at Belleisle Conservatory in Ayr for an informal performance as part of Make Music Day on 21st June.
Look out for the launch of our 2024-25 Season – War-Peace-Hope – later on in the summer.
See you next Season!
