Brighton Festival Chorus (BFC) was founded in 1968 and for that first performance they sang Walton’s Belshazzar’s Feast with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra. BFC has gone on to have a long partnership with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) and the two will be performing together at Cadogan Hall on 20 October 2024 during Cadogan Hall’s celebrations for its own 20th anniversary. The programme is an all-Mozart one with conductor James Morgan.
Katherine Lacy, principal clarinet with the RPO will be performing Mozart’s Clarinet Concerto, and Brighton Youth Choir will perform Mozart’s Ave Verum Corpus, with the Requiem concluding the programme.
BFC’s recent performances have included Vaughan Williams’s A Sea Symphony and Dona Nobis Pacem for the Brighton Festival in 2022 and 2023 with the Philharmonia Orchestra and Britten Sinfonia respectively, a gala with the BBC Concert Orchestra celebrating the work of Raymond Gubbay in the Royal Albert Hall, Bach’s St. Matthew Passion with the Brighton Philharmonic Orchestra in Brighton Dome in February 2023. Highlights of 2024 include the UK premiere of Arnesen’s The Stranger at the 2024 Brighton Festival.
