Vivace Choral Society presents the thrilling combination of the 400+ voices of four adult choirs, Farnham Youth Choir, Tiffin School and the Royal Philharmonic Concert Orchestra and world-renowned soloists Nicky Spence and Lucy Crowe will guarantee a night to remember.

A fantastic all-French programme begins with the remarkable Daphnis et Chloé 2nd suite by Ravel – a rare opportunity to hear the work performed with a choir. Poulenc’s wonderful Gloria follows, and the epic Berlioz Te Deum closes the show in considerable style! All the forces of choirs, orchestra, tenor soloist and the beloved Royal Albert Hall organ come together for an epic performance.
