An opportunity to hear Verdi’s great choral masterpiece, as Canterbury Choral Society and its Youth Choir demonstrate their power and expressive range in this dramatic work.Verdi, the opera composer, combines his operatic roots in the great arias with a sense of universal spaciousness in the choruses of telling splendour. One of the most enduring choral favourites from the 19th century, the Requiem brings together a wide-ranging palette combining all his finest attributes – touching lyricism, luxuriant orchestral colour, and choruses which range from the whispered to earth-shattering fortissimos, stretching soloists and choir alike to extremes.
