Brighton Festival Chorus - Repertoire

Breadth of repertoire and consistently high standards are important features of Brighton Festival Chorus. Recent highlights in the Brighton Festival have included Vaughan Williams' Toward the Unknown Region with the City of London Sinfonia under Richard Hickox, The Dream of Gerontius and Mahler's Resurrection Symphony, both with Andrew Davis and the Philharmonia Orchestra. In Bridgewater Hall, Manchester the Chorus joined with the Halle Choir and Orchestra for a performance of Prokofiev's Alexander Nevsky and the O2 Arena in London was the setting for the Chorus's performance of Carmina Burana.
