A church is hosting a choir concert in aid of two charities.
On Friday, November 14, and Saturday, November 15, All Hallows Church, Whitchurch, will light up with music to support War Child and Naomi House & Jacksplace.
The concerts, which start at 7.30pm, will feature the Longparish Choir and friends from across Bourne and Test Valley, performing Mozart’s Requiem and Gabriel Fauré’s Cantique de Jean Racine.
The concert organisers said: "Mozart’s Requiem is famously challenging and is something the choir has been wanting to perform for some time, but only now, with our numbers swelled by singers from up and down the Test and Bourne valleys, have we been in a position to do it.
"The programme of music also offers some less well-known but beautiful pieces - all have been chosen to reflect the fact that it is Remembrance Season."
The pieces will be accompanied by the All Hallows church organ.
A smaller chamber choir will offer Antonio Lotti’s Crucifixus and Anton Bruckner’s Ave Maria.
A flute trio will perform Christoph Gluck’s Dance of the Blessed Spirits and Herman Beeftink’s Fireflies.
Tickets, priced at £15, can be purchased at tinyurl.com/mozartwhitchurch, Londis Longparish, The Boundary St Mary Bourne, Premier Whitchurch, and Family Shopper Hurstbourne Tarrant.
The repertoire reflects the solemnity of Remembrance Season, blending dramatic and reflective pieces.
