Three of Darius Milhaud's delightful Petites Symphonies frame a first half of early twentieth-century music featuring the Balinese-inspired Nocturne, by the American composer Colin McPhee, Percy Grainger's luminous arrangement of Debussy's Pagodes for large percussion ensemble and four pianos, and Milhaud's jazz-inflected masterpiece, La Création du Monde.

The second half of the concert features Anglia Ruskin Chorus in a performance of two of Gabriel Fauré's most popular and serenely beautifully settings, Cantique de Jean Racine and the Requiem.

"Everything I managed to entertain by way of religious illusion I put into my Requiem, which moreover is dominated from beginning to end by a very human feeling of faith in internal rest." - Fauré
