WPO: Brahms German Requiem

WPO/Brighton16: Brahms Requiem, Mozart and Beethoven

The Worthing Philharmonic Orchestra joins forces with renowned chamber choir Brighton16, to present Brahms’s ‘Ein Deutsches Requiem’.The composer’s powerful and moving masterpiece, written between 1865 and 1868, is performed here in its original German language version. This concert provides an opportunity to hear the thrilling combination of a full-sized symphony orchestra and professionally-trained voices in the superb acoustics of Worthing’s Assembly Hall.

The WPO completes the afternoon with Beethoven’s dramatic Shakespeare-inspired Coriolan Overture, and Mozart’s Symphony No. 35 (‘Haffner’).

This concert is the WPO’s second collaboration with Brighton16, following a sell-out

performance of Duruflé’s Requiem at Worthing’s St. George’s Church in April last year.
