With its dark, evocative score, Britten’s The Turn of the Screw is one of the most unnerving of all operas. Told in flashback from a psychiatric ward, a young governess is terrorised by unseen forces in a remote country house. The setting is Bronte-esque, but the menace is pure Hitchcock.

Experience the profound and emotionally charged masterpiece of Mozart's Requiem, performed by the Irish Chamber Orchestra and Chamber Choir Ireland under the baton of the esteemed conductor Thomas Zehetmair. This concert features a stellar lineup of soloists, including soprano Ailish Tynan, mezzo-soprano Carolyn Holt, tenor Robin Tritschler, and bass Padraic Rowan. The program opens with David Fennessy's evocative piece "Blood," setting the stage for the evening's main highlight.

Mozart's Requiem, K.626, remains one of the most enigmatic and powerful works in the classical repertoire. Composed during the final days of Mozart's life, this unfinished requiem is imbued with a sense of urgency and poignancy, reflecting the composer's own confrontation with mortality. The music navigates through a spectrum of emotions, from the dramatic and foreboding to moments of hope and redemption. Each movement of the Requiem is a testament to Mozart's genius, capturing the essence of human experience and the mystery of death.

The performance promises to be a deeply moving experience, as the orchestra and choir bring to life the intricate harmonies and profound expressions of this timeless work. The combination of the Irish Chamber Orchestra's precision and the Chamber Choir Ireland's vocal prowess ensures a rendition that honors the depth and complexity of Mozart's final composition. This concert is a unique opportunity to witness the convergence of exceptional musical talent and one of the greatest compositions in the history of classical music.
