Bach's Mass in B Minor has been called the 'greatest musical artwork of all times and peoples', and is also very difficult to sing! We're performing it with the Consort of 12, Sunday 7 July, 6 pm, St Paul's, Chichester. Book through our brand-new website: https://t.co/P5ddUlOqpx

We have a new President! Ian Schofield is a previous conductor of the choir and has been a good friend to us ever since, reviewing many of our concerts. He is well known as a composer, lecturer and music editor, and we look forward to singing two works by him later this year.

LIGHT's a major theme in our concert at All Sts Portsmouth, 23 March. Lauridsen's evocative 'Lux Aeterna' has references to light from various Latin texts; Mondonville's 'De profundis clamavi' ends with a magnificent fugue on the words 'Et lux perpetua luceat eis'. Book tickets!

Our next concert date, Saturday 9th November, is the day before Remembrance Sunday. Much of the music has a theme of death and remembrance, such as Parry's 'Songs of Farewell' (dating from the period of the First World War), and 'Crossing the Bar', Elgar's 'They are at rest' and Humphrey Clucas's 'Songs of Farewell'. Come and hear us sing this wonderful music - 7.30 at St James's, Emsworth.

Our concert on Saturday 9 November (7.30 at St James, Emsworth) features Jonathan Dove's evocative song cycle 'The Passing of the Year'. Dove has recently received the CBE and had a new work premiered at this year's Proms. We sang 'The Passing of the Year' last year at Waterlooville and are delighted to have the chance to perform it again. See

We're back from our summer break and practising hard for our next concert on 9 November, featuring English 20th-century music. We have an exciting programme for the coming year, culminating in a joint concert with the Portsmouth Choral Union in June when we will be singing Bob Chilcott's 'The Angry Planet' and Tallis's great 40-part motet 'Spem in Alium'. We have some vacancies at the moment for altos and sopranos - if you are interested see our website portsmouthbaroquechoir.co.uk/join-us/ ... See MoreSee Less
