This concert brings together two great romantic German composers, Mendelssohn and Brahms. The works are both rousing and comforting in nature, and the very well-loved Ein deutsches Requiem, which Brahms referred to as a ‘human requiem’ is written to console the living and to explore grief in its many forms, rather than to accompany the dead.

Poetry in motion brings together choral works that blend poetry, rhythm and melody in unexpected ways. From Gjeilo’s The Rose which shimmers with luminous harmonies to Shearing’s setting of Shakespeare’s words in a joyful jazz-infused style to the electrifying Misatango, where the traditional Latin Mass meets the passion and pulse of Argentine tango. A vibrant, uplifting evening not to be missed!
