Join Shrewsbury Abbey Choir and a massed choir of singers from all over Shropshire and beyond, for a special workshop and performance of Matthew Coleridge's sublime choral work Requiem - directed by the composer!   "Matthew Coleridge is a great force for good in the choral world"   - Alexander Armstrong, Classic FM   "I didn't want the performance to end - something I haven't thought during a concert for several years now! " One of the UK's most exciting emerging composers, Matthew is a charismatic and engaging choral leader. His workshops are led with sensitivity and humour, bringing out the best in singers and inspiring a confident performance. His beautifully melodic and uplifting choral works are widely performed. His music has been broadcast on BBC Radio 3 and Scala Radio, and recorded by professional ensembles including The Choir of Royal Holloway, The Queen's Six and RSVP Voices.

Join us for a concert performance of Matthew Coleridge's inspirational Requiem, together with other pieces. The concert begins at 7.00pm and will be conducted by the composer. Tickets are £10 in advance or on the door.
