More than 150 people went to hear Brahms' Requiem and other music performed at Salle Church at the beginning of June7, a taster of more classical music to come this summer in St Peter and St Paul.

The North Norfolk Chorale, conducted by Rosemary Kimmins, joined forces with a full orchestra and two soloists to perform the Requiem as well as Five Mystical Songs by Vaughan Williams and Vivaldi's Nulla in mundo pax sincera.
