Mount Kelly Choral Society will present a performance of Requiem in Blue by Harvey Brough as part of the Tavistock Festival in St Eustachius’ Parish Church, Tavistock on Saturday, May 2nd. Brough first found fame as the driving force behind the band Harvey and the Wallbangers, but his experience as a Cambridge Choral Scholar drew him back to more traditional choir music in this wonderfully eclectic and entertaining work. The words of the Requiem are combined with traditional folksong and elements of jazz to create a thrilling fusion of styles. The Choral Society will be joined by young soloists from Mount Kelly College, a children’s choir from local schools and a professional instrumental ensemble featuring jazz trio, harp, organ and flugel horn. 44
