The South Cotswold Big Sing Group's first project was Verdi's Requiem in Tewkesbury Abbey in 2011. This was followed by Bach's Mass in B minor Workshop in 2012 and Big Sing in 2013 of Vaughan Williams' Sea Symphony. In 2013, we also joined in Mahler's 8th (Symphony of a Thousand) at the Colston Hall (as it was then) in Bristol. In 2014, we held a Workshop of Bach's St John's Passion.
In 2015 and 2016 we held a Workshop and Big Sing of Elgar's Dream of Gerontius with Brian Kay in Gloucester Cathedral.
In 2017 and 2018, Adrian Partington led us in a Workshop and Big Sing of Berlioz Requiem. Covid then intervened and we resumed with a Workshop and Big Sing in 2022 featuring Mahler's 8th Symphony.
In 2023, we had a Workshop of the Berlioz Te Deum, which we plan to sing in Gloucester Cathedral in 2025. In 2024, we plan to hold a Workshop and Big Sing of Holst's Hymn of Jesus and Poulenc's Gloria.
The 2022 and 2024 performances in Gloucester Cathedral are part of the Cheltenham Music Festival.
