You will be transported through the beautiful and moving Faure’s Requiem performed in the iconic surroundings of St George’s Church Kemptown.
Faure created a new kind of church music using dynamic harmony and colour and this will be complimented with fabulous classic numbers including songs from Gaga to Gagarina, this production will feature old classics from Rainbow’s repertoire including Lady Gaga, Queen, David Bowie, Anthony and the Johnsons and even a Russian Eurovision entry!
To reach out to the deaf community Marco Nardi will provide BSL interpretation adding a different dimension to the performance.
The Rainbow Chorus, directed by the accomplished musical team of Aneesa Chaudhry and accompanist Mojca Monte, is the longest running Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) choir in the South outside of London.
It provides an enjoyable and supportive environment for LGBT+ members to sing together, make new friends, while developing their community spirit, individual talents and confidence.
Through their performances, the Chorus also raises the profile of the LGBT+ community in Brighton & Hove as well as providing first class entertainment. They are often the choir chosen to perform at community events such as IDAHOBIT and Transgender Day of Remembrance and are supported by grants from the Big Lottery and the Rainbow Fund.
