Our next concert…

Brahms: Requiem

Saturday 10th November 2012 at 7.30 pm, Symphony Hall, with the CBSO.
Rautavaara: On the Last Frontier
Brahms: Ein deutsches Requiem

Join us at a time of Remembrance for Brahms’ classic choral masterpiece, A German Requiem (sung in the original German) – a beautiful and tuneful epic. What Brahms has produced in this work is not the traditional requiem mass of the dead, but a Requiem to console the living.
Also explore prolific living Finnish composer Einojuhani Rautavaara’s On the Last Frontier, a setting in English of poetry by Edgar Allan Poe. “The appeal of the music… the combination of eerie beauty and austere, powerful immediacy.”
More details on booking soon.
