The BBC recently joined Sheffield Philharmonic Chorus in Sheffield and London to record their preparations for a tour with one of Belgium’s leading orchestras. The programme was broadcast on BBC Radio 4 at 9.30 this morning, as part of the music series ‘How to Play’, which gives listeners insights into the rehearsal process before a concert. Chorus Chair Joanne Briddock said “It was an honour to be invited to take part in the programme – especially in such illustrious company”. The Chorus joined the Flanders Symphony Orchestra and their award-winning Music Director, Kristiina Poska to perform Mozart’s Requiem in three concerts across the UK earlier this summer. As well as the Sheffield City Hall concert on 22nd June, the Chorus joined the Belgian orchestra at London’s Cadogan Hall and the Usher Hall in Edinburgh. Actor and Chorus Patron Sam West said of the London concert “Terrific Mozart Requiem from Sheffield Philharmonic Chorus at Cadogan Hall tonight. Never heard them in better voice. I am a very proud Patron.“
