A MUSIC group will present a programme of music in Caversham.

The title of the concert is I Believe: Life After Death, and will reflect the season of Remembrance.

Reading Bach Choir’s event begins with a piece marking the separation of the soul from the body, then a Requiem giving comfort to those who remain and mourn, and lastly a setting of an affirmation of belief that follows a loss.

The programme includes music by notable Ukrainian composer Galina Grigorjeva, called On Leaving.

This is followed by Herbert Howells’s Requiem, marking the composition’s 90th anniversary.

Finally, Credo (I believe) by Margaret Bonds, will be performed – a setting of words by W.E.B. Du Bois and a statement of harmony and belief.
