Messiah 16 Dec 2023 What is the point of any concert? To send the audience away happy. That was a success then! The loud and enthusiastic applause said it all. Messiah number 82 told us that "Under David Gostick, PCU continues to enjoy its singing and to delight its audience".

Rehearsals for St John Passion by Bob Chilcott are well underway. With the ghost of J S Bach looming over his shoulder, it is a brave composer who will tackle writing a new setting of ā€˜The St. John Passion’, yet Bob Chilcott has done just that. Sat 16th March, St Marys Portsea.

Portsmouth Choral Union performance of St John Passion by Bob Chilcott is the Portsmouth premiere and is not to be missed. The music is moving, reflective and dramatic by turns. It is melodic and memorable, Bob is ā€˜A contemporary hero of British Choral Music’! pcuchoir.org/shop/

The PCU performance of Durufle Requiem is next Saturday 25 May 2024 at 5.30 p.m. and I wondered how long ago since PCU performed it? So I took a look back through PCU Archives and found Durufle Requiem from June 1999!! I am sure some of you remember it well! Look at this!!

Thank you David, Faye and Ian for the fantastic Durufle Requiem yesterday. Thank you also to our very appreciative audience. The photos tell the story of PCU in great voice - and ready for our journey to Quimper to sing again!
