Venue: St George’s
Price: £5
Artists
Aurora Orchestra

Tenebrae present its interpretation of Fauré’s Requiem described as ‘devastatingly beautiful’ by Gramophone Magazine and ‘simply mind-blowing’ by The Scotsman. In trademark fashion, the performance will be beautifully lit and the choir alongside violin soloist Max Baillie will make full use of the performance space in order to create an immersive audience experience.

Listen to the Aurora Orchestra here:

The Requiem favours serenity, joy and liberation over the dread and terror employed by most composers in settings of the Mass of the Dead. By adopting a more comforting approach, he crafted music of astonishing beauty, in particular the Pie Jesu. Bach’s Partita for Violin No 2, with chorales interspersed, culminates in a reconstruction of the Ciaconna, highlighting the hidden chorale themes within this fascinating work.
