London Orpheus Choir presents Brahms' Requiem and Mendelssohn's Partsongs

Event information

London Orpheus Choir is proud to present the London version of Brahms’ German Requiem, accompanied by piano duet and four unaccompanied Partsongs by Mendelssohn. The Requiem is a perennial favourite with audiences and performers, who are delighted by the passion and beauty of the music. As a contrast Mendelssohn’s sacred songs have a simple and richly-textured elegance.
We will be joined for this exciting concert by two brilliant pianists, Marcus Andrews and Aleksander Szram, who will play Stravinsky’s ground-breaking The Rite of Spring, scored for four hands on one piano by the composer himself. Debussy played the duet with Stravinsky and called it “a beautiful nightmare.”
