Faure Requiem Tour Photo Diary

Posted on: May 17, 2013 in: Fauré Requiem Tour

The first leg of our eagerly anticipated Faure Requiem Cathedrals Tour kicked off at the beginning of May, when we visited Durham, Ely, Portsmouth and Derby for an evening of music making with their respective Cathedral Choirs. We thought we’d share with you some of the team’s snaps from the Tour so far…
