Heidelberg Choral Society and Orchestra: Brahms Requiem

August 18 @ 2:30 pm - 5:00 pm

$60

Heidelberg Choral Society and Orchestra, in conjunction with the West Gippsland Chorale, present Brahms’ Ein deutsches Requiem together with Loughlin’s St Cecilia’s Day on Sunday August 18.

The much-loved choral masterpiece Ein deutsches Requiem is a firm favourite with choristers and audiences alike. Unlike traditional requiems focused on salvation, Brahms’ libretto and arresting score emphasise comfort and solace for the living.
The lyrical and melodic St Cecilia’s Day, composed by George Loughlin in 1948, is set to John Dryden’s poem ‘A Song for St Cecilia’s Day’, written in 1687.

The choir of 120 singers and symphony orchestra are conducted by Peter Bandy with soloists Rebecca Rashleigh (soprano) and Christopher Tonkin (baritone). Associate conductor is Nathan Byrne.  Join us for an afternoon of inspiring singing and superbly orchestrated music.
