Brahms wrote his German Requiem amid a period of great grief and turmoil in his life. Nevertheless, it’s a work of outstanding beauty. Featuring some of the most captivating music ever written, the piece travels through darkness and light, power and serenity, ultimately providing a message of hope and peace to the living. Tonight, the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Choir, led by Director of Choirs and Singing Matthew Hamilton and accompanied by guest vocalists, and pianists Eve Taylor and Pete Durrant, allow this radiant masterpiece to truly soar.

Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Choir: Brahms Requiem

Yoko Ono Lennon Centre

The overture to Nielsen’s joyful and exuberant opera Maskarade, is the perfect start to our celebrations, filled as it is with all the fun and drama of a masked ball. Despite being considered the ‘national opera’ of Denmark and acknowledged by Denmark’s Ministry of Culture in 2006 as one of the nation’s 12 greatest musical works, the piece is rarely performed outside of the composer’s home country.
