250 young singers from across the country take to the stage alongside world-class period instrumentalists and outstanding soloists. This performance is the culmination of an intensive 5-day residential course where Gabrieli chorus directors and vocal coaches have been working alongside partner choirs and singers to bring together this epic masterpiece.
Led by Gabrieli’s Artistic Director, Paul McCreesh, Verdi’s Requiem promises to be an inspirational and uplifting evening of some of the most glorious music in the classical canon.
