We are thoroughly enjoying singing the Mozart Requiem at FPC. Both members who have sung it before and those who are just discovering it's delights have reported how engaging and challenging they have found Mozart's final work. I for one have had it blasting out in the car to elevate my morning commute, which has the added benefit of being a good place to practice!

We will be singing with 4 fantastic soloists and a 27 piece orchestra - check out our Facebook page for an introduction to each of the vocal soloists over the next 3 Thursdays.  Along with the Requiem we will be performing Ave Verum Corpus, a gorgeously serene sacred motet, and sitting back to enjoy the Symphony No 40 in G Minor performed by the orchestra. It's going to be a fantastic night - click below to get your tickets.
 

FPC singers will be joining with musicians from five other local groups to perform a Gala concert in Portsmouth Guidhall as part of the Portsmouth Sing100 celebrations.
 
Organised by Portsmouth City Council, the University of Portsmouth and Portsmouth Cathedral - and presented by many groups associated with the city - this three-day festival commemorates Portsmouth’s 100th year as a city in 2026. It celebrates classical and light music connected with Portsmouth and the huge array of professional and amateur groups performing in and around the city.

There will be events across the city 8-10th of May 2026
