Matthew Coleridge's Requiem - The Fulltone Orchestra & Fulltone Chorus at Bath Abbey

Audiences are invited to experience an unforgettable concert of cinematic power and choral beauty as the Fulltone Orchestra and Fulltone Chorus present a sweeping programme of film music favourites alongside a contemporary choral masterpiece in Coleridge’s Requiem.

Taking place at Bath Abbey on 12 June at 7.30pm, this large-scale performance brings together a 50-piece orchestra and an 80-strong chorus - for a concert that moves seamlessly from epic film scores to deeply personal musical reflection.

For this very special performance, the concert will be joined by Matthew Coleridge himself, who will sing alongside the Fulltone Chorus.

The programme opens with some of the most iconic and emotionally charged music ever written for the screen, including Vangelis’ Conquest of Paradise, James Horner’s Titanic Suite, and John Williams’ Flight to Neverland from Hook. These much-loved works will be brought vividly to life in full orchestral colour, capturing all the drama, wonder and emotion of the original films.

The atmosphere deepens with the haunting intensity of James Newton Howard’s The Hanging Tree and the powerful, rhythmic energy of Christopher Tin’s Waloyo Yamoni, before the concert reaches its emotional heart in the second half.

The culmination of the event is Matthew Coleridge’s Requiem – a luminous contemporary choral work that has touched audiences around the world. Rooted in the traditional Latin Requiem text yet shaped by a modern, cinematic harmonic language, the work offers a deeply human response to loss, remembrance and hope.

Since its premiere, Requiem has gone on to become a global success, with Classic FM hailing it as a “modern choral classic”, and listeners regularly voting it into the top 100 of the station’s annual Hall of Fame chart.

Performed by the Fulltone Orchestra and the 80-voice Fulltone Chorus under the baton of conductor Anthony Brown, this promises to be a rich, immersive and deeply moving live experience – music of cinematic scale and intimate beauty, brought to life by massed forces in full voice.
