Come & Sing Faure's Requiem
2024-09-21 10:00 - 12:00 | Ashtead Peace Memorial Hall, The Street, Ashtead, Surrey, KT21 2BE, United Kingdom
Join us for a two-hour Come & Sing Faure’s Requiem. Perhaps the most gentle and consoling of all Requiems, Gabriel Fauré achieved some of his most beautiful melodies in this popular choral work. Fauré himself described his Requiem as “a lullaby of death,” and it was almost certainly inspired by the death of his parents in the 1880s. Unlike many of his contemporaries, Fauré had no clear religious beliefs and thus, in place of the sombre nature of many requiems that had gone before, Fauré’s is noted for its calm, serenity and peace. FREE EVENT.

Cop-turned-comedian Alfie Moore, best known for his hit BBC Radio 4 comedy It’s a Fair Cop is bringing his tour show to Epsom Playhouse. Thirty years of shift-work, and being punched in the face, had left ‘Fair Cop’ Alfie with a ‘face for radio’. A face not so much ‘lived in’ as inhabited by squatters with little regard to property maintenance! A surprising career shift turned middle-aged Alfie from street cop to BBC radio star. But when TV fame beckoned could he grasp it or was it past it?
