About This Event

In a Prom of choral classics the Choir of King’s College, Cambridge, follows intricate sacred works by Mozart and Haydn with the radiant serenity of Fauré, whose Requiem radiates stillness and spirituality. The King’s choristers are joined by leading vocal soloists as well as the period instruments of the Orchestra of the Age of Enlightenment.
