Welcome text

The Parliament Choir is ten years old in 2010.

To celebrate this landmark, permission was granted to the choir to perform a birthday concert in the magnificent Westminster Hall in the Palace of Westminster on March 17th 2010.

The programme comprised Mozart's Requiem and a new work, 'Of all Persons and Estates', a setting of the Parliament Prayer. This work was specially commissioned from Nicholas O'Neill, the choir's chorusmaster. The choir was joined by its principle orchestra, the Southbank Sinfonia and the concert was conducted by Simon Over.

The concert was recorded by Classic FM radio and broadcast the following day, March 18th.

Later in this anniversary year the choir will give two performances of Britten's 'War Requiem'.

Saturday November 13th in Coventry Cathedral

Wednesday November 17th in Westminster Cathedral

Details will follow shortly.
