Concert Hall, QPAC
Presented by QPAC, Brisbane Chorale, Brisbane Philharmonic Orchestra and Canticum Chamber Choir in association with Brisbane Festival and Brisbane City Council
Five of Brisbane’s finest ensembles join forces.
Britten’s War Requiem is irrefutably one of the most significant symphonic choral works of the 20th Century – a passionate statement of the futility and senselessness of war. The work is scored on the largest imaginable scale employing two separate orchestras, full adult choir, children’s choir, and three vocal soloists.
Conducted by Simon Hewett, with soloists Eva Kong, Andrew Goodwin and Hadleigh Adams with Brisbane Philharmonic Orchestra, Ensemble Q, Brisbane Chorale, Canticum Chamber Choir and Voices of Birralee.
