BRAHMS REQUIEM IN GERMAN October 19th, 2020
To celebrate managing seven weeks of weekly live singing during Covid restrictions, Teddington Choral Society is delighted to present some snippets of one of their groups performing a staged rehearsal of A German Requiem by Brahms. We have had two groups attending weekly live rehearsals under strict Covid-19 restrictions and have had another group at home participating in the rehearsals via live-stream. All groups have been working hard and whilst we can’t wait until it is safe for us to all sing together again, we are happy that we are managing to keep our choral community together. Huge thanks to our Musical Director, Julian Collings, and our accompanist, Phil Culling as well as our committee for all the hard work they’ve put into making our rehearsals work. Thanks to Seamus for editing & assisting with the recording of this particular rehearsal. If you are interested in viewing the whole recording please contact us and we will supply you with a link.
