A celebration of international choirs, Faure's Requiem, and multiple musical performances brings together international stars and the best of Jersey in the exquisite setting of Longueville Manor.

During the German's occupation of Jersey in the Second World War, Longueville Manor was used as Officers' quarters. Throughout this time, the beautiful Manor fell into a state of neglect and disrepair. Years of renovation followed the war to reconstruct and revive this stunning historical site.

Spoil yourself; enjoy this sublime music in the magnificent setting of one of the world's finest collection of small luxury hotels, Relais & Châteaux.

Listen to London's City Consort of Voices in Faure's Requiem, with the 'compelling' Soprano Ilona Domnich and the wonderful Russian Baritone Sergey Braga, accompanied by the young and exciting Eden Sinfonia under the baton of Daniel Cohen. Hear the best of Jersey's singers in the Jersey Festival Choir, the Jersey Island Singers and the Jersey Instrumental Service Youth Choir and marvel at Mozart's dazzling Wind Serenade in Eb performed by the Adaska Ensemble directed by the Festival's Artistic Director Michael Collins before finishing the evening with jazz in the Marquee.
