After last year’s sell-out performance of the irreligious Carmina Burana the University forces tackle one of the highlights of 19th Century sacred choral and orchestral writing, Brahms’ magnificent and eloquently uplifting German Requiem.
This setting of biblical texts, rather than the usual Latin Requiem text, carries performers and listeners through music of consoling beauty to grand and powerfully dramatic climaxes.
Canadian baritone David Pike and soprano Pippa Goss join the student performers to add an international flavour to this emotional and spine-tingling work.
