Verdi's Messa da Requiem
St. Marks. Hamilton Terrace. London
​
"Thrilling performance in a beautiful venue. Spine tingling music filled the church."
"Lovely loud and powerful concert, from a very new orchestra, although they sound as if they've been playing together for years. All four soloists were very impressive and I predict we'll one day see (and hear) Lauren Macleod leading the crowds at The Last Night Of The Proms. Excellent programme notes (thank you) and liked the distribution of the brass section around the Church for the Tuba Mirum. Seen Simon Rattle do this to great effect as well - great minds obviously do think alike. Nice friendly welcome too."
"Wonderful, stirring orchestral and choral performance in a beautiful church."
"Very enjoyable, great performance brilliantly conducted. The acoustics in St Mark's were ideal, especially for the 'off stage' trumpet portions, and the uplifting big orchestra and drum parts. Very hospitable venue."
"A-MA-ZING! Hadn’t been to this good concert for a while. Incredible work by the director, orchestra and singers. Keep up the good work!"

​I have followed the Peregrine Orchestra since its inception, and with Daniel Collins at the helm, I’ve seen it going from strength to strength. Great musicianship and voices, meet beautifully curated playlists, including some of the most complex and grand works ever composed. This orchestra and Voices are easily on par with some of the best I’ve seen in recent years. I urge you to come to their concerts and support them if you can.
